I was at a job site this week and had my trucked parked out in the gravel, thought it was worth taking a picture.

35x12.5 BFGoodrich Mud Terrains. These tires are AWESOME!!! With the sound proofing, there is only a small hum on the highway and they look and handle great!

Ok a couple questions on your rig.
1. what is the increased sound proofing?
2. Are you using a lift for those tires? If so how much and if not do they rub as this is the size i'm looking at.
3. Lastly i see you have a banks CAC. Did you have any of the hesitation in damp weather like some experience? If so did the banks unit fix the problem?

thanks,

You don't need a lift for 35's, I soundproofed mine with dynamat and it makes a world of difference.

I just meant the stock sound proofing since it is a diesel. There is no lift, and I get very little rub. (Very very slight on the right side if I crank it all the way to the right once in a while)
I have not had any hesitation since I put in the Banks CAC, it is a very well made and heavy unit compared to stock.

Thanks for the info. So it looks like no hesitation after banks but did you have the problem before banks? As for tires it's 35's for me.

A couple of times I thought I had the problem before the new CAC, but they were pretty isolated. So I can't say for sure that the Banks fixed that problem. I did however notice a performance improvement from the upgrade and an average of 1/2 mpg better overall.
