Holy heck! Do you get spindles with that kit and did you add rear spacers? I have 20x10 -19 on back order and I may hafta rethink this with my 33 12.50's. Truck looks great but that won't fly around here with the law. Thanks!

 

Yes, the kit came with knuckles. I think they installed rear spacers, but not 100% sure.

It ought to be the LAW everywhere.... These stupid rednecks around here have wheels hanging out of the fender wells slinging mud, rocks and every damn thing else all over the vehicle behind them chipping windshields, paint chips. Sorry for the rant!

Haven't had that problem even though it's plenty of trucks with tires that stick out. I did get a chipped windshield that turned into a crack on my current truck, but it was while I was on the interstate behind an 18 wheeler that was a lowboy trailer and he was too lazy to do a quick sweep. I wasn't even directly behind him, I was in the passing lane and as I started to pass him I got hit by a lot and surprised only got the one chip. I don't think tires that stick out on a pickup is a big issue on asphalt, at least with my experience the past 14 years.

2.5 RC level front only, 1.5 Zone BL, American Outlaw Regulators 17x9 +10 offset and Nitto Terra Grappler G2's in 285/75. Just swapped from stock wheels today. Went from very minor rub on left front in reverse at full left lock on the wheel well liner to a greater rub at left lock in forward and reverse. Try to fix it in the morning with zip ties, couldn't see the greatest in the dark, but still appears and sounds to be the liner.

Finally made a decision on a new set of tires. I compared every A/T on the market in the 265/70R18 in Standard Load. A lot of thought went into this purchase. I wanted to stay with SL due to ride quality and weight. I don't need a LT 10 ply tire on my truck.

 

In the end the new Falken Wildpeak AT3W won out over the Nitto G2, Toyo A/T2, Grabber A/T2, and the BFG Rugged Terrain. I created a spreadsheet that compared weight, tread depth, warranty, overall size, severe weather rating, etc.

 

Chose the AT3W b/c it has 14/32" tread depth, severe weather rated, nice side wall lugs, nice tread gaps, 55k warranty, weight is only 8lbs more than stock, and price.

 

Got these at a local shop for $750 installed including mount and balance with road hazard warranty and tax.504184ff5900fe1338710a57a91cb3d9.jpg4a3ba033f7307f6f271f9eac4894fe76.jpg5dde1159aaad2686fc151874c53d5696.jpg

Those look really nice! I'm not familiar with AT3W. I'll have to check them out!

They were just released in Feb 2016. They are replacing the Wildpeak AT

I'm glad to hear the old AT has been replaced, I had them on my 07 and they were like fred flinstone tires.

That's interesting that you pushed your rim out only .5" (+24 to +10) and the rubbing got worse with a relatively narrow tire on 4" total front lift. It's hard to figure out what fits and don't fit on these trucks.

I agree wasn't completely expecting that, but then again not surprised either. So many trucks with so many little differences. Still even seems odd to me how much difference from left to right side. Either way it's all good now got liner pulled back and rubbing gone.

Yes, I looked at everything on the market. I liked the ST Maxx, but I did not want to go into the LT weights. The AT3 is nice and has good reviews, but the sidewall just looks too plain for my taste.

I think it's the discover cooper I like

    • Average Assembly 4.8%   That's the likelihood of a light duty vehicle reaching 250,000 miles. Link below has the stats on this. Among pickups the 350 series (Dodge)  and higher (450 Ford) are most likely and nothing American built in the lighter trucks pegs a number higher than the overall average.  200K and up is the stomping grounds of Asian vehicles. Toyota Sequoia the leader at 39.1% probability.      https://www.autoweek.com/news/a68886903/vehicles-most-likely-to-last-over-250000-miles/   Likelihood drops dramatically at 100,000 miles of reaching even 150,000 miles. 250,000 is deep in the tail of the curve.    I've been told by the 'experts' that I don't need oils of the caliber I use. My high viscosity is damaging my motors. Ash content it to high and WILL foul plugs and kill cats and O2's. I don't need that much ZDP; my choice is over added and not cutting edge. I change it to often. I baby them to much.    Three Honda's reached 200K + and none used oil. All Red Line motors. All sold to friends or family. One Toyota reached 300K using oil, Pennzoil. Dizzy 300K using QSUD until it cashed the rings at 80K then whatever but often ever since. Did you know this engine still sports the OEM timing chain and is dead silent? Pepper spitting into the wind short of 200K, Red Line and changed often. Uses zero oil. A HPFP and a pinion seal. Still using most parts it left Fort Wayne with. So 50% of my vehicles have gone past 250K and 100% of the last half dozen past 200K. Of these two using "shelf oils' did so using abnormal oil and the four that used a premium boutique oil did not. There might be something there the experts have missed. 🤔                
    • i dont know where you been reading...they make a top notch product..people say lots of great things about them..yes it can be difficult to get a hold of them when you need help sometimes put when  you do it is great service...   as for the actual question at hand i have the ccv mod and i vented to atmos in my case...I got my ccv from somewhere else but i have plenty of VSE product...for starters i use their tuning on my 22 duramax
    • It's not that it sits for extended periods. I drive it every couple of weeks. However, I did consider draining the DEF and replacing it.    Don't you get a "Poor quality DEF warning" if its bad?
    • Try draining the def and relacing with new if it has been sitting for a long time. Def does go bad after a little while.
    • Thanks @Viktorrocks15 if you are still out there.   I followed your instructions and worked out great, went to the scrap yard and procured 2016 escalade cluster, hud, bezel, and switch. Got lucky and found a Camaro in the u-pull with the HUD bezel.   I made my own harness with these diagrams: https://www.gmupfitter.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/23_Escalade_Escalade_ESV_Electrical_Body_Builder_SM_en_US_2022OCT25.pdf   I used escalade cluster because its the best one that will work IMO. Still need to get it programmed but it looks really good.
