I had 265/75s wildpeaks mostly highway, totally stock I got about 40k out of them before I switched tires and probably could have gone another 10-15k before needing replacement Mpg was 15-19, 19 being on long highway only road trips Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I’ve that same issue on dry dusty roads too. Even something as simple as pulling over onto the shoulder that happens to have a lot of little pebbles will cause the ABS to go nuts and slide like an oilslick is there Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

“I don't think the height will impact me at all.” Tire Height isn’t really an issue with these trucks it’s the width that kills them. I ran 255/85 on stock suspension and the clearancing was very simple and easy. Took about 10-15 mins per side hitting the firewall and trimming the front bumper...

I believe in a 17” wheel it’s 255/80 not 255/85 255/85 is mostly 16s and 255/80 is for 17” and have slightly less sidewall to make up for a slightly larger wheel Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So basically just take a section of 2x4 maybe 3 inches long or so and place it on top of the middle of the tire tread. A 2x4 is 1.5 inches thick I believe so it will simulate having a larger tire and you can see where the wood rubs and that will be a spot your tire will rub. badluck could...

Yeah you’re basically just repositioning the sheet metal. I took a metal mallet to the pinch weld to fold it over. The user badluck told me to take a 2x4 and put it on top of your tire and that’s a good gauge as to where your gonna hit so I’d try that before actually hitting anything Sent...

Ah yes those are the correct pads. They must have just been showing a generic image Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Your calipers in the photo look totally fine to me. Im just very confused on the pads. If you go on rockauto any pads designated with the "WL" marking will work for you. Plenty of cheap options as well as some better brands to choose from. Maybe someone with more knowledge than myself has an...

I’m running 33.5” or 255/85/16(stock wheels) and I’m using a 1.25 spacer and I have pretty much no rubbing. I did have to beat back the firewall but it only took about 10mins to do. I also have a 2-2.5” front lift. As far as spacers vs new wheels, if you like your wheels I’d just get spacers...

Are those pads in the image actually what came with that kit? They don’t look like any 13WL pads I’ve ever seen. That being said the only pads I can see that match those even remotely are a pair of centric brand on Rockauto but they are listed for the 13WE calipers. There should be holes in the...

Totally agree with the part about lifting changing the dynamic of the vehicle. If OP was to go with these springs you will definitely need the panhard correction but OP has already mentioned wanting it. Also speaking on the panhard... dont skimp and get the cheap eBay panhard drops. Go with...

The only help I can be is with the toytec springs, I got the HD and I will say that they are very nice. Mine has settled to 39.5" ground to flare so I think 3 inches of lift?? I have a hitch rack and putting 260lbs on that sagged the springs exactly one inch. Putting that weight in the back of...

Don’t worry about it bud, some people act like they are the thread police and that doing this personally affects them like they own the forum. Not saying anyone who’s commented here acted like that and I agree that a 20 year old thread being brought back is quite funny but at the end of the day...

When it’s doing the repeated clicking and horn does the dash light up while it’s doing this? Like it was put Into ACC mode Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like a clogged heater core or air in the heater core to me. Feel the inlet and outlet hoses for your heater core once the car is warmed up. If the inlet is hot but the outlet is noticeably cooler your not circulating warm coolant through it, cause it’s clogged or has an air bubble...
