sweet man, that thing is badass!!

Those tires are looking a little the worse for wear though... how much tread is left? I also vote for larger tires now that you have the body lift.

[onelow1ton]

i would have to say about 20 - 30% left and i think im going to get some 315 75 16 next time it sucks to becuse i just missed the buy 3 get 1 free sale on the procomps becuse thats what im going to get

[Philberto]

Wow, those are going to be some big ass-tires! 34 and half in diameter by my calculations... how's the getup and go with the tires you have on there now?

[onelow1ton]

yeah the ones i have now are 285 75 16 and it goes good not as good as with the stock wheels and tires but where i lost from the tires i got back with exhaust and a k&n drop in . im still 50/50 on the bigger tires i know it will look cool but i dont know if i need to spend the extra 200+ for them that and i dont know if wy wheels are wide enuff for them thay are 16x8

According to BFGoodrich's website for the Mudterrain KM2s, their tire in that size will fit on an 8 inch rim... just barely, but it's listed in the range of acceptable rim sizes. I imagine the same would be true for the ProComps

-edit: But you will also get horrible noise and mileage, be spending upwards of $200 per tire, take 15 seconds or so to get to 60mph, and be putting massive wear and tear on your drivetrain, which won't be worth it unless you're only mud-bogging. I personally would look for a similar diameter tire in an 85 series or the like... You'd probably enjoy driving it more.

i have been looking at tires all evening and i think im going to stick with the 285 75 16 but i dont know now if i want to stick with the Pro Comp Xterrain Radial at $875.96 + $70 shiping or try the Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Radial at $817.16 + $70 shiping i love my procomps but the mts also dont look to bad what do you guys think i will most likly be ordering in the next 2 or 3 weeks

[irishboy02]

sweet lookin ride...id stick with that same size tire your runnin now, just gna need to put a new rubber on soon
how much ground clearance do you have?

got any dirrty pics?

[Philberto]

It basically depends on your driving areas. If you are in a lot of mud, then go with the ProComp Extreme MTs. If not, then I'd stick with the xterrains.

This truck is sick, .. Have you thought about doing a spring over on the rear? If you did you could get rid of the hanger drop brackets on the leafs, which would gain you a bit more ground clearance..

[onelow1ton]

i have thought about it but the soa would put it to high in the rear and would have to soft spring rate i put the add a leaf in to not only get 2.5" more lift but to also carry more than 150 lbs with out the ass squatting

where did you get the 1" body lift from?

I made it I ordered bolts from MD Metric and used hockey pucks. I know I know it sounds kind of ghetto but a lot have people have been running them with no problems for years
