Starting Over

[timgco]

Ok, no more lift! After that mess, it's back to stock height. THANK YOU 4WHEEL PARTS DENVER! These guys too great care of me.

The torsion bars are back to stock now too. The tire just barely touches the swaybar at full lock on DR SD only in reverse only.

Thanks Timgco

Cool calculator, but the specs are different for each tire manufacturer. The only other 35" tires I see fitting are 315/75/r16 Nitto Terra Grapplers AT. They measure 34.5 x 12.32.

The Pro Comp AT's (not xtreme) 315/75's measure 34.7 x 12.8.

I guess the 315/75/r16 Toyo MT's are out of the question....they measure 34.9 x 12.9.

So far I've narrowed my choices down to three:

Nitto Terra Grapplers 315/75/r16 (Look 'much' better in person)
Toyo MT's 285/75/r16
BFG AT's 295/75/r16 </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
BFG also has a 305 diameter tire. There is also a guy on here running Procomp X Terains and they fit without rubing.

Those are all great tires! The reason I went with these: they looked like they had some MT lugs on them but are siped. After running 37" BFG MT's on my SUT in the snow/ ice, I decided I was getting a siped tire or I was walking or driving in the ditch only!

Tim, Where were you gonna wheel in wisco? Pipeline?

[Humm3r]

Thanks BTW

[hmrlvr]

Still looks good to me. Thanks for the update.

[timgco]

Everyone missed me? or just plain missed me.

I still need to get the front/ rear winch bumpers. Drty?

I took the sidesteps off for my roadtrip to WI. I was going to do some moderate wheeling on last Sunday and didn't want to rip them off.

I'll put them back on when i get home.

The steps are great for reaching up to the ski rack. I'm only 5'7" and reaching up onto the Gobi rack, they help a lot.

I have the Nittos, and like them, but if I could do it again, I probably would get the Toyos

which do you like more... the bar sidesteps or the other ones you have? The other ones seem to sit lower then the bar sidesteps.

Tim -- you say the torsion bars are in the stock position? Maybe its just the pics but your truck looks more level with the 35's on it.

I was thinking the same thing. The guys that put everything back to stock said they put it "back to stock." I questioned the T bars and they said if anything, it may have been turned up one turn. The bumpstops are still touching and look about the same as Kira's truck does.

BTW-
For those thinking of these tires, I had it in the snow/ packed snow/ ice today. These tires are great! Obviously on ice they were slick, but they blow the BFG MT's out the door when it comes to gipping in these type of conditions.

If you can I would like to know your height with the Gobi rack - without the ski rack. Is that the stealth?

Timgco....do you know that actual tire measurements? They don't have the tire specs on procomptires.com.

Thanks </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

It's the same as a 35 12.50 16. It's not quite 35" though. The overall Diameter is 34.60 X 12.40. On paper the tire is exactly 1.77" larger in diameter and 1.18" in width wider.

Here's the link where I got the info from:
Tire Calculator

timgco, i was gonna ask you how you liked your side steps compared to the norm bar steps?

Noticed you removed the side steps though... is it because it would hit when wheelin?
