Truck looks great level. Unbelievable how much space is in those wheel wells.

So how does the steering feel? Can you feel the loss of caster? Steering wheel not in much of a hurry to return to center?

I know Epic,the truck makes 35's look small,im tempted to go with some 37's if the tire store will swap them out..


Ya know I really cant feel the loss,truck returns to center good.. I know its out and want to get it in spec though. Now just to find the correct bushings for the 17's...

I can't remember. Did you go with a 2 or 2.5 inch level?

I went with the 2" kit. Need to get a few more pics for you,the ground I was on wasn't level.. I'll snap a few when I go back out to the spot I was at before for comparison.

Good to know. I dug out an old 2" spacer that was in my shop today. I'm ready if my truck ever lands.

Wow! I was going to put my 325/60r20s (35") on my truck, but you are making me think 37s too. Your truck looks great!

37's would probably be perfect. I think Toyo has a 30 day trade guarantee which should let you upsize but I'm not positive. I'm probably going to go with the AT II 325/60. It's still only 35.4 in diameter but it's probably the maximum size tire that can really go on the stock rim. Anything wider would bulge in the center after mounting. Lots of guys run the 35/12.50 on stock rims but I don't see 37's on stock rims. You'll want to talk that one through with your tire guy.

Thanks Highjumper! Yea plus I've only put 6 miles on them since I left the tire shop.. Epic really look at the RT's man,I think you will like them better than the AT's..


If you look on the RT's specs of the 37's they are the same width as the 35's just taller..


Where do you think I could get the correct Caster bushings?
Everyone has the part # for the 16's but as you see there not the same size as the 17 axle..

I always thought these trucks fit 37's well.
