The tires have been mounted they look awesome on the truck, I did do the pinch weld mod before I put them on so I cannot tell you if it would have rubbed with out it. They are quieter on the highway than my falken wildpeak at3ws, you can tell they are a heavier tire as the truck works a little harder to start and stop but nothing that is bothersome just noticeable.
I was expecting a rough ride with the e load tire but I was pleasantly surprised maybe a tiny bit firmer but very hard to notice. I'm only running 40psi front and rear.
Honestly I wish I purchased these tires ages ago, they just look so perfect on the truck.
My set up is the following cooper 295/70/18 st maxx , 3" tough doug lift w/heavy coils, differential drop, nitro upper control arms.
Let me know if you end up ordering them.
My suspension setup is almost identical: ToughDog 2.5" lift 53mm front, 45 adjustable rear and dual rate coils with diff drop and nitro UCAs. I'm already used to E rated tires since I've been running 275/70/18 KO2. Moving up to a 295 would gain me about .5" clearance and, more importantly, a little more width to protect my rims. Thanks for the update. Looks like I'll be ordering my Coopers here next week.
Putting a few coats of bedliner on theTrail Tailor sliders!
I use Rust-Oleum bed liner, but my primer coat is a self etching primer which works really well!!! I did the same process on my taco sliders and never had any issues with the tops over 3 years. Oh and I also use a few coats of gloss over the top to help with the top coat and added protection. I think that had a big impact on the durability of the finish.
Got the Dissent treatment, front, rear and skids. Thanks Ben, Chad, and Alex. I'm totally impressed.
@implayaz9 theyre 275/70/18
what kind of primer and gloss (clear coat?) did u use? also rust-oleum?
Yes, all Rust-Oleum brand. I like to use 3 coats of each. If I have the time I like to wait 20 min between coats and 24hours between each kind of paint.
I gave it the Fluid Film treatment before it sees it's first winter. Per my request, he dropped the spare to get the back end fully coated and put a bunch in the upper hatch. Hopefully it works as good as it supposed to.
I finaly have builded my selfe drawers, it has been on the to do list for a while.

Nachos rule!!
I like that setup. Very clean and squared away.
Id like to know if this is really worth it too, think you can give us an update later on? Cheers
Yes its worth it. A coated frame will be better off than an uncoated frame
Oh nice ok thank you, How long does it typically last? And is there a certain type or brand to get?
Yes it's certainly worth it, in the 40 series section there are Mudders that use it on their 40's using them as DD for many years.
It's the brand "Fluid Film" a lanolin based coating
