Another set of 295/70R18 installed on 2015

brad519 · December 30, 2014

Cranked the T-bars up 1 1/2 inches. Installed Cooper ST Maxx 295/70/18's.

Thanks to everyone for their advice and guidance. I like the way it turned out.

Looks good! Why do I feel, although they are square in design, that the wheel houses look bigger than the last two design trucks?

Brad,

Looks great!!! Let us know if you notice any difference in ride with the t-bars cranked a little. Though the larger tires should help offset if so. But maybe your lucky down there in MS with better road conditions than we have here in MI. Lol

I have wondered this myself if there is actually more room for larger tires on the new trucks without any mods to prevent rubbing.

You can fit 33's on a leveled 2500 no problem, unless you get 20x10's like me they you will hit fender

While free, trying to not crank the t-bars at all. Summer is ok, but come winter here in Mi some of our roads in the area are so bad due to the frost it is pathetic!

Doesn't bother me so much, but does my wife.

I will either keep the factory 20's, or step down to the factory 18's for better tire selection.

Looks great man! Makes it look like a whole different truck. Do you how many turns it took to raise it 1.5" in the front? And how much rake is left?

I'm not sure exactly how many turns I made but like others One full turn netted about 1/4 inch. My front was 40" and rear was 43" now front is 41.5" and rear 43" (measured before tires were installed) so I got 1.5" of rake.

I will guess at 6 turns? Figure 2/10ths inch per turn, 6 turns, 1.5" total. I did 5 turns, changed about 1.2inches.

Roger that. Thanks for the reply. I was curious if the amount of lift per turn varied between the gassers and diesels.

This is my fourth set of Coopers, 2 sets ST Maxx's and 2 AT3's on 2 different trucks. I have been happy with coopers tires and I know a lot of people that run coopers and reall like them. Coopers are good tires.

I'm getting a 2015 2500 4x4 this week and am getting a 2.25 leveling kit. Does anyone have recommendation on tires. I'm looking at Goodyear duratracs in either 285 70 17 or 295 65 18. Any suggestions?
