Here are Mikes new 34.25”x12” (295/70r18)
He was cool and sent them to me so you all can check it out! They look great IMO and at 62lbs a tire and average $250/tire (amazon) its a perfect upgrade! Can’t wait to wear out my stock duratracs lol to justify the purchase with the wife.

Those are wider than the accelera tires so you may have to trim a little of the mud flap

I went with the 35x11.50 Ridge Grapplers. No rubbing or trimming with the 1.5” motofab

Just start burning rubber, or do what I did and tell the wife it’s for safety ?

Looks good! I ordered these tires but on a aftermarket +9 offset rim. I'm hoping they fit on my leveled rst

lol will be taking the truck on a couple of road trips this summer hope to put some good miles on those duratracs, and take advantage of the good mpgs meanwhile.

Bought my AT4 Monday. I will be installing a 1” motofab up front tomorrow. 295/70/18s go on  Monday. (Nitto Ridge Grappler). Hope it works out.

Does the 1” motofab upfront put any stress suspension over time or change the quality of the ride like the leveling kits typically do? I like the appearance of bringing the front end up a little, but have been concerned of changing the ride quality.

It's going to put a little extra stress on the upper ball joints there's just no way around that. As far as ride quality i'm sure there's some difference but i didn't notice it. You're essentially adding a little bit of preload by adding the spacer to pick it up the front.

Ok, thanks for the explanation. I’m new to any sort of modifications to a truck as this my AT4 is the first truck that I actually fell in love with. I’ve been afraid to make suspension mods, but I’ve been highly considering upgrading the shocks. My previous 2500 Denali didn’t do it for me so I never made any changes.

I’ve also had my eye on 295/70r18 Cooper st max, I think those would be a perfect fit for stock? Any one have any input on that set up?

I went with that same tire and size and it worked out well. I do have a 1.5” front level though to eliminate most of the rake.

    • In the 6.6 gas thread, I added information in my fluid change thread about these gauges and temperatures. With very limited data, it so far looks like ~30 degrees difference between front and rear.
    • I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations. 
    • You don't want to become predictable now, do you? 😏
    • Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.
