Is there any rubbing? Do you have any pics at full lock inside wheel well? it looks good!

Thanks! No rubbing so far but it’s pretty close. I’ve reversed it and gone forward on my driveway at a decent turn/speed to see if it would rub and nothing. I’ll report back if I do later. Hard to tell by the pic but the tread is about 1/2-3/4” away from touching.

She sits good. Nice and level. Honestly with the tow mirrors, lift and 35s it reminds me alot of a 2500. It sits big and proud

No issues here, I stayed on the safe side and just went with the 1".  I know a lot of others were going with the 1.5" but I really worried about using either of those.  But a guy on the FB groups said he personally talked to Motofab and they recommended going with just the 1".  So far no issues and I love it.  I started with a 2" rake, now I am at about 3/4" rake.

How’s the 1” lift so far? Do you have any pics of your UCA angle?

Are you guys correcting your speedometer? If so, any recommendations? I only find in-line correction, solutions.  Is that because platform is to new?

I still wanna do this just havent been able to. No ones cracked the computer yet to make a programmer. Only option is a new ECM that costs like 3k or some ******. But hopefully soon. But honestly with 35s I don't even notice that they are big. I do a ton of mountain driving with no issue

Rough Country and Hypertech are two companies I'm aware of selling plug and play correctors.

Rough Country 1.5". Cooper STMAXX 295/70/18, no rub, off about 3MPH at 65MPH. Fuel mileage sucks, not that I am too cautious of it but I mainly drive city and average about 13-14 continually. Not a great picture but all have on my work computer.

So I am thinking of putting some 295/70/18 Nitto ridge grapplers onto my Trail Boss. 

But just question to the guys that have been running a heavier tire set up.  How is are the stock components holding up to the additional weight of the tires?   Anyone experience any mechanical failure, suspension issues ? Seems everything in that size range is much heavier than the stock duratracs ?  How is road driving, much harsher ?

 

Cheers

The biggest difference will be E rated tires. It rides stiffer so you’ll definitely feel it. As far as the weight, I don’t feel too much of it. I have the Falkens and they are heavier.

Off topic but where is that?  Kind of looks like my old stomping grounds.

Nitto Ridge Grapplers 295/70/18 with 1.5 RC level up front.  Speedometer is off 3mph with the larger tires.  Ride is similar to stock Wranglers.

    • Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning. 
    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
