That's a nice set-up man. See the wheels are 17's, what are you running from a level/life perspective ?

Man you're truck is so nice I wanted you to share your life's guiding principals so I could model them. [emoji6]

 

Actually, it's just a typo. Should have been level/lift.

295s on 0mm offset with a level will rub doing anything but straight highway driving.

Plenty of people on here running them to tell otherwise.

Yes they all claim "minimal". I had them and swapped down to 285. Still rubs the mud flaps at 2.5".

Tire brand/tread matter for sure. I have 275/60R20 and everyone swore they wouldn't rub with a level (some people even said they wouldn't rub without the level).

 

My duratracs rubbed the carpet liner...

I'm actually surprised by that. I have tires taller than that (same width) and mine dont rub now with a level and didn't rub before either.

 

but i'm not running duratracs.

It's not necessarily the tire size but the corner lugs you need to look at. Some tires round in before starting the lugs and some start on the side wall. Typically a more aggressive tire will have the lugs starting from the sidewall which can rub. It's a major difference between a passenger/AT tire and an MT tire like the Duratrac.

Caster and camber can also affect where and if it rubs.

Let me know how the Falkens fit if you go that route. I've settled on Falken AT3s and Methods but torn between P285/70R17 (33x11.5) on 0 offset Methods or trying to cram those 305/65R18 on either -12 or +18 Methods. The P rated 17's would be way cheaper/more practical (and 16 pounds lighter) for me but I know I'd be happier with the 305's. Want real world feedback though!

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
