Wheels and tire setup and why

[Phil O]

I just put them on this past summer, so they only have a few thousand miles on them so far. Road noise is a little more than stock, handling is just as good as OEM, MPG is the same. Too early to tell on life expectancy, but I typically wear my tires out off-roading well before they wear to street use.

Only a few thousand miles since last summer? I put on 11k miles since August Hahaa.

how are the 3.0’s compared to the stock live valve shocks?

I've got an 18, so no live values here. 19 and 20 only.

Oh okay. I feel like the sensors on these shocks are the downfall. Other than that they seem to be great.

I am running Black Rhino Roku wheels in bronze and 37" Cooper Discoverer SSTs. I had black Methods on my Gen 1 and wanted to change things up. As far as tires, I have run them all. My favorite 35" Tire was the Toyo Open Country M/T, it's indestructible but it's also heavy. When I up sized to 37's I knew rotating mass is a bad thing for performance, so no Toyo this time. After an extensive search, I opted for the Cooper Discoverer SSTs and love them. Ironically, the 37" Coppers are 1 lb lighter per tire than my 35" Toyos.

Looks great. Can you measure the height of the tire mounted on the truck, use a level/straight edge to get the true top/center to the ground. Curious how they measure compared to specs and compared to stock BFGs.

I tried and it looks like it is just over 34” but I also need to have them aired up a little bit more. Think it’s at 34 psi right now. Not sure if that will make a difference?

Thanks Phil O, I will measure my stock BFGs tomorrow but am anticipating he BFGs to be a half inch at least shorter. Yours Tokos are the 35x12.5 and not the 315/70 right?

Correct, 35x12.5r17. I feel like the height is negligible. Too hard for the naked eye imo. But the aggressiveness of this tire just makes the stance so much better.
