@IronVilkas I'm running 275/65/20 right now and love the extra height, but the Nitto G2s are almost done after 70k miles and I want to go with something wider while keeping the height. The setup you did looks great and is probably the biggest tire you can fit with a level.

 

I need to change wheels anyway, these came with the truck and they keep the tire tucked pretty far with the +35.d124cdd4effedcde865209c6575c75b7.jpge0d7d0a709f769317529c38238689c29.jpg

Ya I did alot of digging when I wanted to put this setup together. Its absolutely the biggest you can get on a 2.5 inch level. I think a 3.5 from rough country you may be able to get 35s but thats a theory. The Toyo MTs im running are listed on the website at 34.1 so they are as tall as your current tire but a bit wider. Any ATs in that size are probably gonna be around the 33.8 like you have shown there. Something else to keep in mind is the selection of tires is pretty small in 285/75/17 so your favorite tire may not be available. Other than that I would say go for it if you are looking for a totally new setup.

Luckily I was already looking at the BFG KO2 and that's one of the few offered in that size.
I am also looking at 295/70/17 if I go with a different brand A/T, 33.3 inches tall and 11.6 wide.

I’m running 295/70/17 on a 2.5” coilover level and +0 offset rims, and will be moving up to 285/75/17. Had to trim the plastic fender piece a tad for the 295/70s

No cutting of studs because my Factory Repo wheels have deep pockets on the backside between the lug holes.

Fit like a glove. Does have a 2" Zone front leveling kit. When i get a deal i want to put BF KO2's on it but i want to get the rims sandblasted and powder coated first. Gonna be expensive and nothing wrong with these tires right now so ill run em thru the winter.

I really like the "NASCAR" look of the wheels.

 

JMO, but it would be really cool if you could retro fit a chrome vanity ring to give them the Squarebody Rally Wheel look.

Stock 18" wheels on a 3" front level with a 1" rear block lift and a 1.5" rear spring lift and a 1.5" body lift with 35x12.5x18s. Installed Motofab UCAs for the front level.

    • are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.
    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death. 
    • In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them. 
    • I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
