I love the diesel. The truck looks great. Almost 3000 miles and no problems so far. The Toyo's are quiet.
Question: Can the dealer adjust the speedo??
Thanks

Your truck looks great! I just finished installing a 4" Superlift suspension lift kit on my "05" 250. I see you have new wheels also. I think I can put 33X12.5's on my stock wheels but do you think I will get any tire rub on the radius arms?

 

Looks good BUT very close on the front to rubbing, if you use it offroad you are gonna hit, why didnt you go with a taller lift if you wanted 35's?

 

I agree i think it looks great but i know you will have probloms with rubbing. I had the same set up tires are now in the garage. Truck turned great in the drive way and drove down the street good but come to any kinda stop and turn the wheel like a right turn on a green light and it was rub city on the bumper and the trim which was the point of ok to much...

Why only the leveling kit? I had an 02 Dodge 1500 with a 6" Skyjacker before this truck. My wife had trouble(bad lower back pain) getting in and out of the thing. So I wanted a little lower but higher than stock.

Ryan did you slide the bumper forward? I adjusted mine about an 1-1.25 inches forward and about a .5 inch upward which helped alot. I did trim a little off the wheel liner at the back of the fronts.

No rubbing so far. 500 miles or so. I won't be wheelin too hard so I think I can deal with what rub I do get.

Neal05, which leveling kit did you go with? Rancho ?

 

It's a Skyjacker with the new front coils, not spacers. and it came with the 1" Add-a-leafs for the rear. I also have a Skyjacker steering stab. This setup will work fine for me, since I won't be hammering it off road, but if someone was I would recommend a 325/60/18 Toyo, that is just a little shorter. I also learned during all this that you can't use a 10" rim with these setup. Too wide and it does hit the bumper even after I slide it forward. The wheel I have are American Racing Wolverine 18x9 with 4.5" backspacing.

Good lookin' truck!! The tires don't look very aggressive tho.

 

That's good because they weren't meant to be.

Again, Can the dealer adjust the speedo for the 35's?
Neal

 

yes they can

 

Thanks! I'll try them on monday.

Just curious what wheel those are?
