I'm having a hard time deciding what rims to get. im gonna get a zone 4.5 soon so I need the backspacing. I found these method rims that i liked but I don't know which color would look good.

Bubba I'd go black method NV or method mesh. I love a red black themed truck. I'm going with method mesh myself methods white chrome or chrome rims are very bright also. Which I don't care for. I asked them if they had any plans for anthracite rims at the moment they don't.

Since your's is red I would get the 1st one with the machine look. But, if you eventually want to take all of the chrome off and have black accents then get the all black rims.

Well tonight something happened that made me so glad I have 18s and not 20s or 22s. I was in the right lane on a 5 lane road in town (2 lanes in each direction and center turning lane) and someone was beside me and decided to all of a sudden hug the dotted line so I moved over to avoid them and I hit the curb. I was going to Lowe's so when I parked I looked and no curb rash at all. I know if I had 20s and especially 22s that I would have had curb rash. The only good thing that would have come out of that is giving me a reason to get aftermarkets, but when I do that I'm still getting 18s anyways lol.

 

By the way, the alignment seems to be good thankfully.

I have basically the same truck as you except crew cab. I have gone over wheel colors for a year now and still can't decide. Part of me wants all black to match the mirrors, door handles and steps. Part of me wants chrome to match the bumpers, grille and lettering. I've thought about painting to match all chrome to get closer to the red/black combo but I do like the way shiny chrome looks. Decisions, decisions.

Planning on doing a 2" level then putting on some fuel nutz d251 20x9 +20 offset rims with 295/55 nitto trail grapplers. Done lots of reading and hoping there's no rubbing but if there is should just be minor and not require trimming

Can't wait to see this. I'm thinking of that same wheel on an Iridium Denali with 305/55 BFG KO2's

I haven't seen 18s, 35s with 4" BDS anywhere. Looking for pics and offset. Anyone? Thinking about putting the 35s on my OEM wheels first to see how it fits, then I'll know what offset to get for my aftermarket wheels.

That's the colour of my truck. I'll try to remember to post pictures.

Tungsten metallic with black fuel hostage 20x9s. Looks good i think method Mesh will look good.

 

I'm thinking the hostage in Anthracite would look good on the iridiumfuel-hostage-3.jpg

    • If one can't be found, a good automotive upholstery shop should be able to replace/sew in a new panel where the damage is on the old cover. It might not be the cheapest option..
    • Does your dealer charge you for the tire rotation on top of the oil change price ?. I haven't had any service work done at my dealer yet other than when I brought it back soon after owning it to have the front end aligned to correct the steering wheel being off center a bit. Oh they called me at least twice hounding me to bring it in for an oil change and pushing a 300.00 package of oil change and tire rotation and whatever other quick simplistic checks they would do. Only going off of what a friend gets charged for his half ton for the basic oil change and its the same amount of oil as the L8T holds, it was about 150.00. Once one buys a set of tires from most shops these days or so I believe, they will do free tire rotations and some do free tire balancing as well as free tire repairs.    Certainly doing a tire rotation is no five minute job, and definitely not at home but because I run a set of winter tires on their own wheels, I swap them at home and its a one tire at a time deal because of the tire season swap although I jack up the rear and do it and drop it back down and then raise the front and do them and coordinate the tire rotation into that process for both sets of tires. I am using a floor jack though and if I need to raise both ends at once I use a couple sets of jack stands to have all four tires off the ground. I use either an air impact or battery impact and have electric impact as well so no shortage there of easy methods to spin the lug nuts, and then retorquing the lug nuts. None of it goes quick though but my wages are cheap though ... zero. I live an hour out of town, its easier just to do things like that myself than waste a bunch of time in town and having to make an appointment and probably a special trip and sit there at the tire shop waiting for them to get my vehicle in and get it done and not screw something up in the process. 
    • I do have the 8 speed.  Interestingly enough, after driving my truck for the past 2 days now, I have not had the clunking issue at all!  I am beginning to think it may have been suspension/leaf spring related, and somehow when the shop put my truck on the lift to do their initial inspection, it relieved some built up tension/pressure that was causing my problem.  I swear it felt I was a bull rider on a bucking bull the way the truck would almost rock back and forth slightly before the big thud/clunk when coming to a stop.  I am hoping I got lucky here and it's gone for good.
    • Bring it to discount tire. They do free rotations even if you didn’t buy your tires there. I didn’t believe it until I tried and they did. You can tip the employee if you would like 
    • Best part of this video is how it resets expectations. Wonderfully done piece. It also made clear a few points I've made from day one. Detergent oils DO NOT KEEP A MOTOR CLEAN at the recommended or longer change intervals. They just get dirty slower than a non-detergent oil and there isn't spits difference between them on this point if they carry the DEXOS license. Great thing about the license that gets missed is it assures CONFORMITY even it that means a low bar.    One thing he did not talk about that I paused on an magnified was the condition of the oil ring separator. Besides a stuck ring a plugged separator and land drain back is huge when it comes control. We see in short order improvement in control IF that is the problem.    Another item I took exception to and he did not make plain was the condition of the timing chest and under valve cover having something to do with indicating piston cleanliness. Schaeffer's Oil makes that same omission in their million mile Ford video. I'm guessing he has never torn down a Red Line HP, AMSOIL SS motor that has been on that diet from the get. What he showed in the video was a good deal of varnish. Something totally absent in Peppers 165K cover off look. I smiled because he did his at the same milage.    He also makes the mistake of assuming oil temperatures in the pan are the temperature all over the motor even though he makes note of the piston being the hottest part of the engine. that baffled me a bit.    I can tell you from personal experience and witnessing teardowns of family motors that even oils of the 1960's would keep them squeaky clean when OCI's were 1500 to 2000 miles without exception. At 3K and above you get what he experienced and the longer you leave it the quicker to gets to the junkyard.    I think his is missing a opportunity not tearing it down again when he's done killing it. Time would be his only cost.
