Thanks Rutcutter, just trying to keep up with you.

Yes, same bolt pattern (8x170). Similar or same offset also.

It rubs at the back/outside of the fender on turns. A little trimming may be in order until I get the leveling kit. On the positive side, the area needing trimming is a plastic trim piece that can be replaced!

A couple questions Rutcutter.....

Do you feel like you've lost enough power in the larger tires that you'll notice when towing?

Did you figure out the casters?

What's your opinion on changing the trac bar , or lowering it with a bracket?

I absolutely love the look of your truck. I'm ordering a blue so you don't have to worry about this crazy guy out in Utah that wants to copy you, but I am grateful to learn from your experience with the level.

I'm tired of lifts, but I still like the look of "truck" tires on a truck.

LEDman I cant hardly tell any power loss with these tires,heck our trucks have 925 ft lbs of Tq and it can handle to lower RPM'S the tires cause easily especially with the 37's being a lighter tire than the 35's with these Toyo RT's..


Going back up to the tire shop when I get my crew lined out an settled for awhile in the morning and try again.


I may do the track bar when someone comes up with an easy fix but im not going to go out and spend slot of money on an adj.one,would consider lowering it.


Thanks again man,I love the truck also..

LOL. That's funny. I live in Syracuse. We've talked on the forum before and I didn't realize you were in Utah also. I was referring to me ordering a Blue Jean and wanting to do that same level and tire combo as Rutcutter.

Not to take over the thread, but did you get your truck yet?

Layton. I knew what you meant. Just messing with you. Nope, I'm still impatiently waiting. It's only been 6 weeks so I can't complain. ETA is 11/4 right now.

This has been a great thread and Cutter is figuring out a lot of stuff for many of us. Everyone make sure you rep him for the effort!

I make guessing Wes are going to see a major resurgence of your Youtube channel once your new trucks arrives
