I'm going to be running 2.5 level with 285/75r17 toyo at2 or cooper at3 (I want the toyo but the coopers are cheaper and way abkut 10 pounds less per tires) with fuel boost 17x9 4.75 back spacing with 0 offset

 

my tires are 285/70.. sorry I didn't catch that in the beginning. I will be switching to 35s when these wear down a bit more though. yes, I will have to cut.

 

Cool, good luck.

 

What rims and offset and width, that will play into it as well.

 

That first pic looks a little nose high, is the rear on stock blocks or raised too? Might just be the angle.

 

I took the blocks out, its a little nose high but nothing too aggressive...

I have the Readylift 2.25" with Method NV 17x8.5 0 offset and 285/70/17 Duratracs. Only a very very slight graze of the felt wheel liner in reverse at full lock. With 2.5" you will be fine.

I think you're going to need a bit more than then 2.5" level to run 33.8 (~34") tire. I could be wrong though.

 

I'm running a 285/75/17 on 17x8.5 0 offset, and I have a fabtec 2 inch level. Very small rub in reverse. Could probably pull the liner back a bit and it wouldn't rub.

You'll have a slight rub in reverse at full lock... Nothing to worry about.

Those look good on there!

Thanks, not a fan of the tires, but I got a smoking deal on them via Craigslist. Waiting for them to wear a little more before I switch back to toyos. Your setup looks sharp

Thanks! Might get different wheels, but they were what I had on my 2008 sierra. I put them on so I wasn't rolling on stock wheels.

Here's another pic

You have to put your photos on photobucket, and then copy and paste the link for online forums.

    • Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!
    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires. 
    • Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
