Mounted and balanced today, will put them on tomorrow when my lug nuts arrive from Amazon.

According to tirerack wheels are 26lbs, the 275/70/18 Grabber ATX -SL load is 46 lbs. for a total of 72lbs, huge weight savings from the 90lbs stock and E rated KO2s.

These will be my daily driver set, keep the stockies with KO2s for when we hit the trails

They feel great! Very smooth over the crappy roads we have here and acceleration/braking feels so much better than the E tires. Mpg is better too, I’m digging these tires so far. I doubt they’ll last as long though since they are a softer compound.

There is one con, is that SL tires aren’t gonna feel as planted around turns than the Es. Probably due to the sidewall flex

IYKYK.
 
Where di you get that vise?
Facebook marketplace for $100. I have no idea who makes it or where to buy it new - I can't find it on the internet. It's super nice though & handles the diffs great.

I would think that the 80mm of track width you added would help balance that out? At least with AHC you can whack it into sport for the twistys.

I think so, the truck doesn't feel like it's gonna slide out but i feel more body roll and a little mushier feedback when i turn fast.

Don't turn fast :D

You could mitigate that by raising pressure but that’s the price you pay for a squishy ride, better mpg and performance.

What are you running them at?

I’m running them at 33 psi cold, not sure what they are when they heat up. It’s alright I’m getting used to it and I’m liking the soft squishy ride. Loving these wheels and tires, my tire guy got the balance perfect too, took it up to 90 and it was a smooth ride.

I waited for the coldest day of the season with mixed rain and snow to do my rear brakes…:bang:

I had some pulsating brakes at low speed and knew the rear right rear was in poor shape. Deferred maintenance bit me in the ass and forced me into addressing it sooner than intended. I ordered a set of Power Stop rotors and pads and a caliper to replace the right rear. Upon disassembly I found the left rear equally as bad. Because the LC is my daily and I had to get it back up and running ASAP, I had to stoop to a CarQuest caliper…

It’s all back together, brakes are bled and the old LC goes and stops as expected again. Both rear calipers had sticky pistons ( like beat them with an hammer sticky) and frozen guide pins. It’s a wonder it lasted as long as it did.
