    GEN 2 Bent Rear Axle?

    Would a 4 wheel alignment be able to tell if your rear axle is bent?

    Diamondback SE or Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite

    I have a Diamondback HD and really enjoy it. Very well made and robust. I chose it over a traditional folding tonneau cover due to the added security it offers. It gives me peace of mind to leave certain valuables in the bed, while allowing me to strap down heavy items on top. If I had to haul...

    Are there any engine performance parts or are we just going to get tuners?

    What Tune you like the most?

    @wgr73 thanks for the response, that makes a lot of sense. I may be reaching out to you once Cobb releases their transmission programming.

    What Tune you like the most?

    I've got a question that hopefully someone smarter than myself can answer. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that most tuners ramp up boost (peak boost and boost throughout the power band) to achieve most of their power increases. I don't know what the average peak boost is on some of the...

    Tire recomendations

    I only have 4,000 miles on them, but I've been impressed with their performance so far. They're just as quiet (if not more so) than the KO2s on the street. The AT3 XLTs perform just as well as the KO2s on ranch roads at speeds of 45-60 mph. They may not be as good in sand or rocks as the KO2s...

    Tire recomendations

    I have AT3 XLTs on my raptor and have the G2's on my wife's Range Rover. Both sets of tires balanced well. Went with the AT3s on the Raptor because they were lighter than the G2s. Went with the G2's on the Range Rover due to the size (285/45R22).

    Uniden R7 or should I drive the speed limit

    I think a radar detector is essential. I have no experience with the Uniden, but can say I've been pretty impressed with the Valentine V1. Having the confidence to drive a little faster on the interstate helps compensate for all the damn bathroom stops we have to make.

    GEN 2 Considering 37’s or 38’s Eibach & Deavers or Icons

    Great. Running the KO2's with that offset will certainly help.

    GEN 2 Considering 37’s or 38’s Eibach & Deavers or Icons

    Looks great. What offset did you order for your Innov8s? That will also affect how much rubbing you'll notice if you choose to run 37's. It looks like @Krillin increased his track width 3" per side. Looks mean, but will rub a lot more than a positive offset wheel would.

    Cooper Tires - True to Size?

    I have about 3,000 miles on them so far. I really enjoy them. They grip better than the KO2's in rain and loose gravel. Haven't tried them in mud yet... No more road noise than the KO2's either. Tires are 37 12.50 17s.

    GEN 2 Ride quality after swapping wheels

    I didn't experience any change. Did you check your tire pressure? I'm pretty certain the RRW wheels are lighter than factory wheels, but not sure if that delta will affect the unsprung weight dynamics much. Maybe the live shocks need to adjust to the difference? A smarter person may need to...
