92 Truck+Camper Build

[skylark]

About 12.5' with the AC and weak ass 225/75/16 tires.

I gain almost 2" in truck height for my almost 4" taller tire. The puts me at essentially a 3.55 gear. Hopefully that won't hurt me too bad.

I want to be on 31" tall tires, but I'm not sure it would then fit in the hangar. That and I couldn't find a rim I liked to get me there.

Is this with the black diesel truck that requires assembly?

235/85r16 gets you there but you have to be careful, occasionally you have issues with sidewalls rubbing if you run lower pressures when empty.

That is the one. I had 265/75r16 on it all of the way around but I have 2.5" spacers for clearance with tire chains. The new tires are 255/85r16 Toyo mud terrain. Basically a 33x10.

I'm not crazy about the tall sidewall of an 85 so was considering 19.5" or 20" tires but dually rims are all so damned skinny I wasn't finding what I wanted.

Here is mine. A bit different. I haven’t weighed mine yet but I’d assume I’m a couple hundred pounds overweight.

I have the 3.73 gears with 285/70 r17 tires. It’s a bit of a dog on steep uphill grades

Been lurking here for awhile but never got around to starting a build thread. Here goes...

1992 K2500, LD, 6-Lug version. This truck has been in the family since brand new, off the lot. We got handed it around the later half of 2015. It was custom ordered back in the day, I'll post the RPO codes later but its got 14 bolt SF rear end, geared 4.10, heavy duty cooling package, camper package, SLE trim, power 'most things' etc. The usual 350 TBI, 700R4 trans.

I'll try post regularly but here's a teaser, picture was taken start of 2019.

Stay tuned...

What chassis cab over camper is that? That is freakin' rad!! Ultimate overland vehicle.

Thanks! It’s a Tiger Adventure Vehicle on a 2500 chassis with about 18” of frame extension.
