Alright. I need help. Here is what I've got:
2016 GX460
- Dobinsons 2.5" IMS lift
- SPC UCAs
- Front and rear bumper cuts
- Dobinsons Dual Drawer System ( heavy AF )
- JW Off Road steel roof rack
- iKamper mini
- Quite a bit of camping gear, fridge and anywhere from 4-12 gallons of water
The lift goes on September 15th and I need to make a decision on wheels / tires. My initial plan was General Grabber X3s in 285/70r17 but I'm worried that with the bumper cuts they will look too small ( yes, looks matter a little to me ). I do not plan on re gearing any time soon, if ever, and I'm curious what kind of wheel / tire combo ya'll recommend that is larger than a 33" but will have the least impact on performance?
I'm coming from a 3rd Gen Tacoma with same weight gain, plus 33s, and it drove like s*** on hills while constantly searching for gears... although the tranny in those trucks suck to begin with. I'm in east Tennessee but we plan on doing yearly trips out west and I thought my poor Tacoma was going to blow up driving through Colorado hills last March.
EDIT
A 285/70r17 Grabber X3 is 66lbs compared to a 285/75r17 KO2 at 61lbs and 315/70r17 KO2s at 64lbs.... So, would I see more power loss with the X3s than either KO2 or would the height increase negate that?
