**Reviving this old thread. Fair warning about the long message and I apologize if the following is a tad bit too much to ask in one goLet me try to talk you out of it...
... damn. I tried.
(Full disclosure: my '06 was a non-AHC truck)
**Mate, I've been eyeing your setup for my build. Really love the steelies with the skinnies but am worried about the sidewall loss and weight gain with this setup. I found the perfect 17's I want but they're on back order and I really want something asap as my tires are pretty much bald so I thought I'd check with you about how it is living with this config.
I am in NorCal and we have a lot of rocky stuff and trails out here so here's what I'm curios to know;
- Tire pressure you run off-road
- Chances of popping a bead (since the 16 guys make it sound like it's day and night difference with an 18)
- Affect of the added weight on acceleration and handling of the vehicle (Not bothered about gas mileage)
- Max tire size I can run with those wheels on stock height with front TB's cranked up
From the posts in this thread I see you recommend the Ironman FCP setup and I was thinking of giving them a call to check for availability, apparently there are no lift height torsion bars available atm nationwide due to the supply chain disruption. It says the lift height is 2 inches vs the 2.5 by OME lifts, is that a true measure or are they pretty much the same height when installed?
Cheers!
