is that a 4 or 6 inch lift with the 35s? Also how are you liking the tires?

Prova 20x10s on 305/55 Toyo AT2s (this is my cheap winter setup)

 

Spring/summer/fall setup is on order and is 22x10 American Force Grip ss6 on 33x12.5x22 Toyo AT2. Pics will come when mounted hopefully in march.

Nice truck man.

 

I just went to the tire place today and they recommended the 305/55R20 Toyo AT2's for my truck on a 2.5" RC level kit. A few questions for you. Any rubbing? Do you need to re-calibrate your speedo/odo? I have 3.42 gears, would I need to change them to run this tire more effectively? Do you just have a level kit also? Thanks!

I rub a little but my wheels are x10s and my track width was widened from the 4.5" Zone lift kit. You don't need to recalibrate the speedo as it's off only by a fraction and your 3.42s are fine for that tire as it's relatively light as these tires go. And thanks.

Thanks, I appreciate the information.

I finally figured out how to get pics on here. This is a 3.5" lift with 305/55r/20 on 20x10 rims. BFgoodrich KO2s. They rub slightly at full lock in reverse.

It's a Fabtech 4.5. Love the tires ride good and wear good. They have great road manners in all conditions

So this is kind of on topic off topic. I know there are a lot of wheel enthusiasts on this thread so I'm going to ask.

 

I ordered rim/tire package online. Long story short...they sent the tires mounted and balanced but forgot to put the TPSM in the tires. I had already paid for them and they shipped them separately and told me to send them the install invoice. Still kind of defeats the purpose/incentive of buying a tire rim package online that's "bolt on ready".

 

So, tire shop scratched 3 of my 4 brand new rims. The manager says he knows a guy that can airbrush it and fix them. Has anyone had rims fixed like this? Will the fix last?

 

Thanks for any info. I apologize if this is in the wrong area. Just been on this thread a little recently.

This could get messy.

 

I'd ask for a full refund, send them back and ask them to send them the right way as you purchased them.

airbrush them? Hell no. I highly doubt that "fix" will hold up over time. Ask them to replace the damaged ones

When I first installed the wheels I assumed the TPSM I paid for were installed. I didn't get around to going to a tire place until a week or two after installing the wheels/tires to have them synced to my truck. That's when the tire shop told me there were no TPSM. Then I contacted the online store I purchased the rims/tires from. They had me email them a pic of the valve stems. They could tell from the pic the valvestems were not their TPSMs. That's when they informed me they F@cked up and sent me TPSMs and told me they would reimburse me for the install.

 

Their return policy says once rims are driven on they can't be returned.

I guess if you buy online take them straight to a tire shop to check for TPSM if you require a tool.

Who did you buy from?

 

Either they bite the bullet and send you a new set, as how were you to know they didn't have TPMS, or the installer buys you new wheels they scratched. That is what they have insurance for.

 

Discount Tire scratched my wheels, and they made it right by paying for the tires I just bought (or they said they'd buy me new wheels).

The shop that scratched them owes you new wheels, end of story. No cheap repair will be good enough or last. You spent big money on wheels and there are plenty of shops that appreciate that and can mount tires without scratching your wheels. I did mine locally for that reason exactly. I wanted to deal local just in case something like this came up. Sorry to hear but I wouldn't stop until they replaced the wheels they messed up.

 

Anyway, here's a teaser of my new shoes. Method NV 0 offset with 295/70/17 RT's.

I spent $2500 on wheels and tires from

 

Anthem Off Road.

 

The tire shop contacted them to see about a fix. Anthem told them any generic gloss black touch up paint will work. Apparently that's how they fix wheels that have been damaged during shipping.

 

I like the rims. I just can't recommend them due to the way they do business.

 

The local tire shop says the rims are not damaged structurally. It was just the finish. So they just want to follow what Anthem said and use generic touch up paint to fix them.

    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
    • 286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔           
    • hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you
