275/70r18 BFG K02's on 1.75" spacers.  Slight rub on reverse at full turn, not enough to do anything about.

Took some time to decide on the right tires, but in the ended up with 305/65/18 Falken Wildpeaks.  They fit perfect, no rubbing at all.  About 1/2 inch from the UCA. 

They also drive much nicer than the stock Goodyears.

Looks great!  Hows your mpgs and speedometer?  Lot more rolling resistance with the 305 profiles compared to the stock 275s.  Just curious.  Thanks!

Thanks !

I added a K&N air filter when I changed the tires and honestly, my mpg has seem to have gone up 1-2 mpg.

 

As far as the speedometer goes, according to a few of the radar speed limit signs that i have passed, it is still accurate.

Thanks to those on here for sharing info to help me make some decisions. Final product was to level the front with ReadyLift 1.75” so I can replace the UCA since I’ve heard of the stock UCA failure and I didn’t want to take that risk. But with that, I couldn’t run my stock Trailboss wheels anymore since it’ll rub the new UCAs. Ended up with Method 309s 0 offset and kept my 295/70/18 Falkens. Here’s a comparison.

Is this truck leveled? Or stock up front?

i have the same setup, no level, and they rub a little bit at full lock.  i plan to add a 1 inch level and at that point i think there will be no rub.

Thanks to all the info I read here, I just put Toyo Open Country AT3’s, 295/70/18s, on my 2021 Trail Boss. Wanted to avoid any further suspension mods and keep with the factory wheels so I went this route. I’m very pleased with these as they really filled the wheel wells in better but without the excessive weight and drag of a larger tire, wheel, lift combo. Smooth running tire, no rubbing at all, fairly quiet on the highway also.

Looks great! Wasn't sure from your post though, do you or do you not have any suspension mods? Are you on the stock suspension?

It is stock a stock suspension. However, as you probably know the ‘stock’ Trail Boss has a factory 2” lift. I did not add anything additional to it and there is zero rub on these tires.

Got it, thanks! That's the look I'm going to be going for once these Duratracs wear down. Although I probably will be adding some upgraded shocks (Bilstein 5100's or 6112's) in the future. However I like the stock ride height and rake.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      Even tougher is the 5.0 / 302. That's what this one has.    https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   https://postimg.cc/4n3F3yzY   Just realized I had the airbox removed in the engine pic, lol.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
