With a 3" front level and stock rear block, isn't it a little higher in front than in the rear? Or is it exactly level?

Measured from pavement to center of fender (top center over wheel) front is exactly 1/4" higher in the front vs rear on mine. Looks exactly level to the naked eye though.

Boltman, do you have a side shot. I have a 3 inch as well and your stance and the way the wheels sit is exactly what I'm looking for. Curious to see how much tire is past the fender

Sure do. Took this one the day I got my wheels and tires installed. -20 off set was key in pushing mine out (aggresive look I wanted) Increase chance of rubbing on turns though.

Thanks. Looks perfect. Exactly what I want. I have the 3 inch as well. Lot of clearance work?

For those of you running RTs on 17s what PSI are you running? My local place airs everything to 40ish so I'm at 42-45psi right now and want to air down to 35 truthfully but would that be too low for this tire?

I aired down to 37 and the ride is 10x better. On the way out to the farm pressure was at 45/46 and man it was rough.

Here is where I needed to trim to get a 33.4"x12.3 tire on 18x9 -12 rims to work with no rubbing. It wasn't too bad but I did need to eleviate some metal :smoker:

Best i could do before leaving work, then it started pouring down rain :/ love it though. 295/70/17 RTs with Method NVs. Stoked with how it turned out and surprisingly no rubbing, even with the little 1.8" the Bilstein's provide. Now i just wish i had 6112s and new control arms lol.C8BB12B3-9CA6-4FFE-86EC-DCCA7CAD6EE9_zps

The local place had them at 45. I couldn't stand it, dropped it to 36/37 yesterday. It's 10x better now. Truthfully i like 35 and maybe even 30 in some instances but right now i'm satisfied with 36/37.

Your setup just cost me some money. Just ordered the 17" NV's in black. Saw your post on the hide for that Razor too, small world. I was tempted but you got me on the wheel's first.

Lol sorry man! I wish i could've talked to you about the Razor ha i need some cash at the moment. My laptop is going downhill and i also want to fund a 4.5-27x56 Gen II razor for my match rifle. You'll enjoy the methods though. They look great on these trucks.

 

I will say at first i thought zero offset would be fine as it's almost flush, but upon heading out to the farm yesterday they do stick out some. I'll need to get some fender flares later on to take care of that. I also am rubbing just a tad at full lock on the sway bar. But it's barely. Other than that no rub at all.

Damn I just ended up selling my 4.5-27 Razor. Could have done a swap trade, did drop some money on coilover's though so there is that lol. I ordered the 0 offset's as the same as yours. Do you think the +18 would have been a better choice with less rubbing?

      Valvoline R&P Fuel System Cleaner

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Okay boys and girls I put a bottle of this in Dizzy the oil burning guineapig after a tank between the coil and plug service of the #3 hole and near the end of the first R&P 5W30 attempt. As a note I did a two R&P oil changes back in October of 2025 with little effect. Granted they were 1K mile a shot oil changes so.... Then followed by fourteen  1K mile changes of Mobil 1 Euro 5W30 FS. Also ineffective.    Anyone who has followed the adventures of Dizzy may remember that to put the oil on the full mark of the published nominal 5 quart change I withhold about a cup of oil. That over the last 50K miles the P0420 light has been a frequent flyer, sometimes three of four a day. And that even on 93 octane fuel she registers some KR even in moderate conditions on favorable days on slight inclines. Lastly when giving her a kick in the pants, something done about once a week, she looks like a diesel with the pump turned up. 😬   After one bottle and over the last 500 miles of a 3K mile OCI, of the first oil change I dropped the nastiest looking oil ever in her history. That's saying something as  you will recall I have used AutoRx, HP EC30/40 and a few other harsh solvents in her before including the GM top soak twice. This was syrup. Black stinky, inky syrup but the filter wasn't all that bad.    On the second fill I had to use the entire 5 quarts to reach the full mark. That was unexpected! The ignition KR is completely gone! Even at 99% engine load. MAP is much lower. Level road is now 9.8 instead of 12.5. Fuel economy is remarkably higher and for the first time since her earliest days she will spin to 6500, more than a thousand higher with out laying down dead. Yes, the coil and plug had something to do with that but remember the first 2500 miles after that repair on the first change it was same ole same ole Dizzy. Seems we have top rings that are somewhat functional again. P0420 code only comes on now if run in town for more than an hour of stop and go. On the open road it goes weeks without a incident. Perhaps it is cleaning the cat on the pass through?  Fuel Trims have improved as well. Nothing not to like.    To early to say about oil economy but the changes to date in the operational aspect is remarkable. I can't think of a worse case than Dizzy.... It's already paid for itself in a few tanks of fuel with the mpg improvement.    @OnTheReel, I'd say if the Jeep didn't respond perhaps there wasn't an issue to respond to.    I've run the Red Line SI-1, AMSOIL fuel cleaner, GUMOUT and Techron all in this SUV without any such results. Color me impressed. I'll be running out my supplies of the list mentioned and moving on to the Valvoline R&P Fuel System Cleaner.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Homer1959 · Posted

      Hey Chuck !!Thanks for the all the info I'm an old fart and I have everything I need for the oil change at home,minus flexibility .... and I’ve been doing my own oil changes for 40 years. I just didn’t want to end up without a crush washer or with the wrong one in my stash and have to walk to the auto parts store, lol. I climbed under the truck to check the location, and man, it’s going to be the easiest oil change and filter swap in the last 40 years—right up there with my 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4. No mess, nothing to drip on—just perfect. I’ve got one more free oil change to use, and then that’s it with the dealership!

      2027 3.0l - ordered

      By Atlas · Posted

      I think this subforum was created for the new generation pickup trucks (2027-) with the 3.0 but I don't think it's a big deal either way. There are probably 2027 model-year specific changes for the SUV's too.   I was just curious if you had issues with your 2025 3.0. I'm still under 10k miles on mine and fingers crossed I don't have thrust bearing issues. I'm guessing not, since you're willing to buy another one! It's a good engine minus one or two manufacturing whoopsies.
