Test run this weekend to make sure all the bits worked. (Crawl function sounds horrible.) View attachment 1987450

Tires tuck properly with 1.25 spacersView attachment 1987451

Before buying my Cruiser...I tested to make sure crawl functioned properly—with a salesman in the passenger seat. He was completely freaked out because of the horrible noise & I had to keep reassuring him it was normal. Not sure he ever believed me...but pretty sure he felt better when I bought it. :hillbilly:

Great setup and nice looking LC. Was the 1.25” spacers needed for that tire size? Since your tire is ~12” in width was curious if spacer was needed to help with clearance/rubbing issues.

I currently have stock suspension and no spacers. I just got these rims and was thinking biggest I could go on stock setup is 285/70/17 with some minor fender and mud flap massaging/trimming.
 
I like that 305/65. What is the offset of your Icon wheels? +25? I have an +18 offset wheel and curious if your KO2 would fit my truck without issue. Anyone know?

Spacers aren't needed for my set up, I actually have them off now and no issues. However, I have the KDSS relocate mod, and mudflaps removed, and maybe ~2inch lift from BP-51s. @eric sarjeant might be able to say. I think if I went up to a taller setup then yes they would be necessary.
 
25mm I believe.

How do you like your tires and the size? Your new rig looks awesome...loving the uniqueness of it as well. I keep waffling whether to go 295/70-18 or 285/70 and now 305/65. I sure love the beefier look. My 35”s are killing mpg 11.5 avg and they make love to my KDSS at full turn.

Thanks! I love the size. The tire width gives the cruiser a substantial footing from all angles. Without the spacers they line up exactly with the slee sliders. With the 1.25 spacers it becomes "extra" as the kids say these days.

A few have gone the other route with a distinctly tall and skinny setup, which I think also has a purpose-built and authentic look.

I think I'll keep this setup until we go overseas. Then I'll research a more widely available tire size.
