Looks awesome! Did you do the fender mod yourself? What sizes exactly did you go with?

I did a level, the front and rear fenders are the same height from the ground .

I might go with a similar size. I really really wanted the 35x12.5 on a 0 or -18 wheel. The “shop” in town says it can’t be done without a 4-5” lift. So much so... they won’t sell me the wheels and tires. Told me to order online, he doesn’t want the liability.

Interesting. I have that already. It’s the wheel offset that I think is a huge barrier. I’m not sure if you can maneuver a 12.5” tire in there unless it’s a 33... your tires look much wider than an 11” wide tire.

Those look really good! You may want to edit your post from Terra Grapplers to Trail Grapplers though, haha.

 

Any rubbing or trimming?

Ha ha, you’re right. I went in for one thing and came out with another.

Yeah, I haven’t figured out why my truck is so mechanically messed up. I was supposed to get the +0 offset and 295 tires which shouldn’t have required more than some minor trimming (from what I’m told. But now my keys are turn all the way up and I think I require some drop spacers and UCA’s. (I have a picture thread of my cv angles). So I love what it looks like, I’m still working with the shop to make the truck right.

So does anyone know the biggest tire I can get without rubbing? Currently running 265 60r20. I don’t want new rims.

I previously had 275/65-20. No rubbing no issues. You might be able to go a little larger as long as you don’t got wider

They might not be bottoming out but they are not operating in their zone, aftermarket shocks are the same factory length and still require the same shock extenders so you might as well install them and be done, you will have better dampening and rebound.
You are indeed a wise man SMiller,

I installed some shock spacers and all my clunking has gone away, and the ride is better as the shock is in the zone, as you say.

Thanks!

New pictures of my truck, went with some bigger tires, 305-75 / 18. Turned up factory keys, shock spacers, air bags in the rear, factory wheels, light rubbing at full lock now. fda9b8f12fac556d6ff1b89b6b1cf34e.jpg925151df68c371c4533cc86f375c4038.jpg8679ba0a43dd0788bce15ca29fa1db84.jpg

do you know what its rubbing on?  and what brand of tire did you go with... I was thinking of a 285/75/18 to keep it narrower and try to avoid the rub but I could probably deal with light rub at full lock.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
