Pix of recent mods to my 2014 Trail

[MartyT]

These show bilstein 5100 leveling at top setting-- front is around 3/8 higher than rear-- also put on BFG 285/70/17--- perfect fit with no spacers and very minor trim on front plastic---I ordered Budbuilt sliders today-- should get them in a couple of weeks.

BTW, the guys are Discount Tire were great to deal with; I got $400 credit on the factory tires (shop around since one DT shop only wanted to give me $240) and they did a good job doing the oh so minor triming on the front fender plastic liner. So I can say definitively that the 285s fit no problem at all so long as you raise the front to the top notch on the 5100 Bilstein or otherwise achieve the 2.5" height in some other fashion. Am just happy my ride no longer looks like a soccer mom's car!!! Next up--sliders, gas tank plate and winch bumper. M

I wish I would have known about different Discount Tires offering different amounts for the OEM tires. The one I chose said like $50 a tire (the tires had about 1k on them), so I sold them on craigslist for $350 for the set. I have a white 14 Trail. Your black one looks great. I almost went with black (the only other color on the lot). It was a very close call (like a flip of the coin close for me).

At least you got $350; my tires only had 300 miles so that may have made a difference. I am partial to black but I think all the colors looks pretty good. m
