I have not noticed any rubbing as of now, had the set up for two weeks and haven't had any rub on the liner and havent felt a rub on the sway bar or control arm.

Anything I've done to this truck is 100% reversible. When I sell it in two years it will be as stock as the day it left the dealer!

Looks good, I was thinking of dipping my AT wheels before I put them back on for winter. Will def be doing it now

Has anyone seen the new fuel maverick anthracite wheels on any new gm's or chevy yet? If so where. Could be a game changer for the iridium metallic guys. Cant wait to see how they will look!

Correct

I'm probably going with a 265/70/18 in kO2, no lift. OEM wheels for now. Eventually NVs. Hoping no rub on OEM wheels.

I had them, but they didn't look that good with the color of my truck. I switched over to black Mavericks and the truck looks so much better.

The anthracite may look good on an iridium truck.

Thanks for the pictures, truck looks awesome. Ya not sure how those would look now. Look almost like a light grey and the iridium is defiantly darker. Cant go wrong with the black though!

Could you post a picture down the side of the truck? I've been looking at the same size wheel with same offset.

 

Never mind I saw your pics in the leveling kit thread!

Not a problem at all, they fit really well with plenty of clearance.

How is the ride with this set up? Did your mpg suffer any?

Im thinking very hard on Torque Thrust ST's with Nitto 285/50R20's. I'm into the street look and will be keeping the OEM's for winter duty...

I know you want those rims which do look nice, but I don't think they would look good on any truck unless it's lowered to some degree. Don't have to be slammed, just a little lower. Just my opinion though.

I was thinking the same thing, just didn't mention it. My plan was to lower it in the spring, raise in the fall when swapping back to OEM tires. I haven't checked into the feasibility of doing this though, any idea if it's too involved a deal to do yearly?

    • I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.
    • I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed. 
    • Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day. 
    • Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
    • The use of absolutes like "always" to describe gear selection, and giving free advice at a boat ramp sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's a boat ramp, not a farm, for starters.   IMO gear selection should depend on the obstacle. If low range is working and this is a slower speed, controlled ordeal, I'd keep using that.
