So what are everyones 35"'s actually measuring in height?   I just got 285/70/18 Ridge Grapplers that are supposed to be 34" tall and 11.5 wide.  Cant argue the width, but they contact patch is only 9" wide.   But I am only getting a hair over 33" tall when I measure them.  

Are you measuring the tire(s) off the truck or while the truck is jacked up with the tire off the ground (no load)? 

 

The measurement usually represents a tire that is inflated and under no load. If it's on your truck and under load (sitting on the ground), you have to account for sidewall flex (squat).

Just had these 35x12.5R18 BFGoodrich KO2's put on yesterday. Trailboss with 1" level, no rubbing. They may have fit without the level, but I didn't like the rake.    The manager at the 4 whe

I’m a big fan of big tires and low/no lift.    The tiny wheel wells of my 2011 have frustrated me in this regard. Big 32’s instead of the 33’s I always had. Then again, hard to take a cut of

Nope, off the truck.  No load.

Would you mind posting some pics from front and back? I’m wondering if the tires are flush or have some poke with the 12.50 wide.  Did you end up leveling it? Thanks!

Yes the truck is now leveled. Here are the new pictures. Tires sit flush. I only have these two pictures of the front and back. I’ll try to take some more for you once I wash the truck. b659a01788e9b1ecbee4213725d43841.jpg

Looks great! Level really completes the look. If you could send a picture down the side to see just how flush the tires are that would be great. Thank you!!

Need a little help with this: I'm looking at getting the ready lift 2' SST within a couple of weeks. After that I want to put on some 35" tires. But I'm a little confused on what tire size should I go with. From what I've researched 35X12.5R18 can be these sizes

-285/75 R18

-305/70 R18

-325/65 R18

 

What sizes are people running on their trucks?

 

Also what brand and style of tire are you guys running?

 

Thanks!

Nevermind, figured it out. So 35X12.5xR18 = 315/70/R18. Just waiting for the lift and then off to get some tires. Currently thinking about getting the Toyo Open Country R/T as I've saw quite a few good reviews about them.

I'm a lazy bum and can't read 43 pages.

 

My setup

 

2021 AT4 1500

Stock 18" wheels

Bilstein 5100 (AT4 version) raised to the max 1.1" and Cognito UCA's (tube ones)

 

What size tire can I fit using the stock 18" wheels and something like a Nitto TerraGrappler G2 or BFG KO2? 33"? 34"? and will I need a wheel spacer?

 

I live in BFE and there's not really a shop I trust that can order the correct tires without just telling them "order this ******". 

 

Thanks

Finally completed the look after about 6 weeks of ownership & research

 

- Ready Lift 2" SST Lift

- Stock 18"s rims

- Toyo Open County R/T 35x12.5R18

- Supreme 2" spacers (You can get away with 1" if you want. The reason I got spacers was to clear the aftermarket upper control arm)

- Mud Flap Trim delete kit

- Removed the metal bracket behind the front wheels

- Trimmed the liner behind the front wheels so it doesn't rub anymore

I'm curious about this as well as I'll have 6112s in the front set to 1.2" with Cognito tubular UCAs.

 

I'll take pics of the clearance on the UCAs with this set up.

This is the direction I want to go. Probably will go with Nitto Ridge Grapplers 285/65/20. after reading all 43 pages it seems like those will fit with a minor level. 

 

Does the bilstein shocks at 1.1 inch give it the level look? With what I understand its close but not exact level. Thanks!

I have the bilsteins set to the 1.1” and the AT4 is more level. Not perfectly level and still noticeably not level, but so much better than stock. 
 

the Cognito UCA’s fit using the stock 275/65r18 duratracs. I think a 285 tire just might barely fit. I really want to try a 285/70. If I have to do a little trimming or fitting of the fender well then that would be ok. Just don’t want them rubbing the UCA.

I was always taught you measure a tire’s size by making a mark on the tire and a mark on the ground, lined up. Pull the vehicle forward (or back) until the tire mark makes one complete rotation and then mark the ground again. Measure the distance between the two ground marks and that’s the tire size.

That would measure the circumference not the diameter. You would have to divide that number by Pi to get the diameter.

 

Using the method you described would give you a measurement of about 100" with a 32" tire.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
