Any side pics? Trying to decide in 275/60 or 275/65.

 

Thanks

I think a lot depends on the tire tread/brand. These duratracs look bigger than most 275/60 I've seen and also these rubbed the carpet unlike most 275/60.

Hope that helps!

Thanks to this web site and the kind people who have given the information I have gotten here, I was able to pull the plug and go with my leveling kit and 285/65/R20's.

Here are the specifics - Work was performed by RMT Off Road in Fort Collins, Colorado. I highly recommend them for ANY work you need done. I used them because they were an authorized installer to save my new truck warranty as this truck only has 6,000 miles on it.

  • Traxda 3"+1" leveling kit - (before tires, I gained 2-3/4" height at the front)
  • OEM 20" x 9" wheels - No Spacers
  • 285/65/R20 BFG KO2's

Measurements after Level & KO2's

At front license plate - ground to the top of the bumper at body line - 25-3/16" Originally...............Leveled - 29-7/16"

At receiver hitch - 18-13/16" Originally...............Leveled 20-5/16" 

At front fender - 36-1/4" Originally..................Leveled 40-1/8"

At back fender - 38-1/2" Originally..................Leveled 41-3/4"

I get very minor rubbing at full lock, only on the driver side. It rubs about a quarter size spot at the rear of the well lining, toward the frame. I will tie this back with a zip tie this spring when the weather is warmer. It is so slight that I can wait until then to do this.

 

Thanks again to everyone on this site for their input and help.

Don’t really have any good current tire pics since it’s lowered now

     33x12.5 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on 20x9 KMC XD Hoss 2's.

 

     Only leveled in the front with Bilstein 5100's on their top setting. There is very little rubbing on the plastic protector piece on the back part on the wheel well. I've currently removed the plastic protectors until I have time to work with the truck some more. Without the protectors I am just barely rubbing the cloth liner at full lock, forward and reverse. I doubt I could have gone any larger. I have no other lifts or levels on this truck.

Yeah the 5100s are on there until I can put some king coil overs and get rid of the spacers. Billies are set all the way down. And is level. A touch I guess higher in the front but just a touch. When I get coilovers I will be perfectly level.

Interesting that even with them all the way down it makes that much of a difference.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
