Got some fresh rubber on her. Need the speedo recalibrated now but 35s fit with no issues and flat cv angles. Probably going to crank it up a tad anyway because it kinda rides like a boat and the shocks look fairly new

Better pic

When I had time for my hobby with Diecast toy farm tractors, an old trick was to use nail polish remover to clear up the excess that had dried; it'll remove the glue fog and shouldn't hurt the paint, at least I never did any damage to the paint on the replicas I built.

That worked great.

On another note my milage has improved with the 35s. Dash command says 17mpg at 53 on the speedo which is really about 60. My cruising rpms dropped from 2000-2100 to 1600-1700. Seems like i use far less gas with the bigger tires but i wont know how much exactly until i get the speedo corrected.

Soo quick question. I upped my tire size and i know my speedo is off so i was messing around with my dash command app and found where i can put a speed correction in. So if you look at the pic at the end of diameter it has the percentage differance (10.8%). Is that what im supposed to put in the dash command app for speed correction?

Got her tuned tonight and the speedo recalibrated. On the 25 mile trip home i managed 17.3mpg. Not bad at all imo. Also ordered my body mounts and air bags. I really dont like gaving massive lift blocks in the rear, it makes the truck wheel hop bad with a trailer so im Debating on one of 3 options.
1) 6” deaver springs
2) shackle flip
3) traction bars.
Input?
