Looks like it still has a bit of a rake to it? I am torn on the 1.5 or the 2"

 

It does, just slightly. Measured about 3/4 of an inch..

 

I do tow a toyhauler so it will work out just fine.. Did not want it nose high at all..

ZXTOM, your setup is exactly what I am looking at doing. I have seen the ATP's in 275/65 on other vehicles and they look bigger than other 275/65's I have seen. I also plan on putting on the bilstein adjustables and put them on 1.25 inches. I actually like a little rake in a truck plus I haul things as well.

I love my ATPS. 265/65/18's are on my Silverado. I had my white letters put out though.

 

**EDIT, The tires are 275/65/18's LOL!**

I thought about having the lettering out, Thats how I have the tires on my Land Cruiser but I thought it wouldn't look as good on the Chevy..

Yeah I'm not in love with it, I didn't give it much thought, the SRA's that came on the truck were that way so I just followed suit.

90% of the people don't understand these trucks need some rake to look right. "True" level will look noise high....which is worse than the factory stance IMO

 

ZXTOM - your truck looks perfect, you made the right choice with the 1.5in moto.

I just bought the same tires 2 days ago in 20" (275 60 20) - the ride difference is night and day. I absolutely love the look, too.

 

I ordered the Bilstein 5100's and they will be here Wednesday. They are height adjustable, so I'm going to start at 1.5 and go from there.

 

I agree 100% these trucks need a slight rake, or they look nose-up.

More pix of the tread and how do you like the tires? They were the best price for at tires but I'm still deciding on which ones to buy, and to convince wife that it's an upgrade

I've only had them for a few days but I can say they ride more like a "truck" tire compared to the SRA's. I do like them a lot already.

 

I know they will be much better hauling the trailer and i'm sure much better traction on dirt roads. Which the SRA's and the trailer didn't work very well on dirt roads..

 

They are much much quiteter than my BFG AT's on the Land Cruiser by far..

 

Here are some pics

I've got about 3500 miles on my ATP's pretty happy so far.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
