Still liking them a lot. I've gotten used to the less-aggressive look but that's all vanity anyway (like 99% of my truck lol). The heavier Falkens made my truck feel more substantial/heavier and the opposite is true of these. I still notice a big difference when climbing the small hills around...

It's a fairly easy job if you're a DIY'er with tools (and who isnt nowadays). Even with my bolts/sleeves being seized, it only took about 3 hours, not long. As with any job, the first side will take longer. The real trick is having those Diablo carbide blades on hand as they make quick work of...

Superpro LCAs and outer tie rods on. Shoutout to Diablo carbide blades for those cam sleeves/bolts! Still waiting on my ES extended front bump stops, Lexus rear bump stops, 2nds gen rear swaybar ends and front swaybar ends to come in before aligning. Also rigging up a crude aux battery tray in...

Been well over a year so need to sit down and update this as I've added lots of random things. Also swapped over to a set of Maxxis Razr AT 285s a few days ago as well. 7nor 8lba lighter per tire and I can certainly feel the difference in acceleratation. The Wildpeaks had been on since 2016 so...

I bought a set of the P-rated 285s back when they came out in 2016. I only just now had to replace them due to age as they still had around 6/32nds left. Great tires and my favorite sidewall pattern for an AT to date. My only "gripe" with them was the weight versus other passenger load ATs. I...

So, first impressions are good overall and met my expectations. The lighter weight was very noticeable and I could tell the truck didnt have to dig as hard when I hit the gas. Train tracks and abrupt hits were a little smoother as well but the Falkens were getting low on tread too. The only...

It should be very noticeable given it works out to ~8lbs per corner. Maybe less so in MPG (got over-gapped plugs, dirty MAF/TB and dragging calipers on my to-do list that should net a larger change) but I do expect a noticeable difference in steering/starting/stopping. DT is finishing up mine...

Correct, I got the SL load. As for why...weight and reported road manners. This is my best version of being "realistic" with its current use and it being 99% on the road as I just cant bring myself to go any less rugged in looks or ability just in case I need it...and b/c "cool." Lol. I'm also...

Ended up ordering a set through Discount Tire @ $190 per tire, $930 OTD w/out certificate. I'm afraid I wont like the look as much but for the great reviews and lighter weight, I figured it was worth it. They go on Tuesday so I'll know more then. Could've got the Wildpeaks again for right...

Great to hear they're still holding up well in all regards. I've been rocking the 285 P-rated Wildpeak AT3Ws since they came out in 2016 and LOVE the way they look but have been looking at going a little lighter just because (43lbs vs 51lbs) and also these being much cheaper don't hurt ($940 OTD...

Any updates? Time for a new set of 285s and curious if the positive feelings are still holding up as the miles add up. Was settled on trying out either the Recon Grapplers or Toyo AT3s but the price on these are making me curious.

Good info. Nice to see them follow through on the warranty. Hard miles or not, for the price of these, I'd expect way more than 40k miles and it seems that they agree with their response. I've got 235k on my OEMs and they're still chugging along. My offset pair just arrived yesterday so ill be...

My bad...I can see that now when looking back over them. I like the ring. It has that beefy, rock crawling look. And you're right, the extra .25" width adds to the profile and squares up the tire wall too. Another reason I wanted a 9" wheel either way. As for the -38mm trimming, I may be...

Nice! Exactly which wheels did you end up with? It doesn't look like any of your initial choices from those angles. I too have been going down the wheel rabbit hole myself and am torn on how much offset I really want. Or better put, how much offset I'm willing to clear for. Ive had my Lvl 8...

Yea, I wouldnt think they changed designs across all brands since the 31s appeared the same a few months back. I took everything off mine (thread posts, bus bar underneath the plastic cap and the cap itself) leaving only the threaded post holes. I bought some 1" 3/8 bolts to fasten flush...
