DIRTY SEVEN CLUB

Dirtyseven's under a ProComp 6" lift kit.
Alaska's a challenge for thicc trucks...

 

I hate/love this thread. Too many sick builds

 

Went from 20s to 18s on 37s..they feel so much better

 

After much hesitation, resistance was futile......

 

How are you liking those tires?

 

I've got about 15K miles on them so far and zero issues. They are pretty quiet too. I rotate them every 5k just to make sure they are wearing evenly.

 

How well do they perform offroad? Dirt, sand, rocks?

 

I've only been in dirt and mud and they aren't MTs.... but work very well for an AT tire. Zero complaints so far. I have 5 of these tires and want to buy a 6th as soon as they offer another rebate or discount.

 

I've either been in the dirt, mud or gravel roads so far.

 

Anyone though about running these?

I'm not, but do it if you're on the fence. Have read great things about Mickey's. I doubt you can go wrong. Visually, they look awesome too.

 

I ran the ATZp3 on my diesel. Looks pretty much the same. No complaints. Wear great.

 

So…I went and did something I never thought I’d do…I had 5.29s installed this month. I did it thinking they’d allow me to put 39s on next time I need new tires, but @Cruzer has had a time with his, and I’ve been reading that it’s smart to go SAS with tires that big, and I don’t know what that means, so I probably will not be going up in tire size again.

BUT…The 5.29s make a huge difference in the experience of driving this truck. It was easily the most expensive mod I’ve done so far, but I’m really glad I did it since I never plan to go down in tire size.

 

Just got this installed today after waiting 6 months for my Fox 2.5 to arrive. JBA UCA, 17" Fuel wheels and 37" Maxxis Razr AT

 

Here's my alignment settings and how close I am to my BMC. I was rubbing at already 3 degrees caster. Maxed it out to near 5 degrees positive caster and no worries now. The wheels pushed out in front and with my high clearance bumper, it was no problem. Wheels are +1 offset. Now I only rub just a tiny bit on my TRD front sway bar at hard full lock reverse, not bad at all. I think dialing it back a little to 4-4.5 degrees positive caster would be perfect to fix this, but I wanted max clearance away from the BMC. I'm calling it good for now.

 

How’s the outline on this? I’m going to be plating it with Relentless Fab plates.

 

Good to go! Bevel the edges slightly and throw a fat bead down and you're set!

 

Stupid question, but I should bevel it like this: \ right? So that way the bead can sink into it? Just got a welder from HF too, so I'm going to practice a few lines on some coupons before I tack the plate and drop some lines.

 

i have read through this entire thread multiple times so that i know what i'm getting into. finally made the jump to 37's.

 

nice !

 

another angle. tires are 37x13.50x17 with +18 offset wheels.

 

nice rims. kmc ?

 

yup yup. KMC KM717.

 

9th month update with 37x125 at 0 offset, so far so good. Had to grind down the BMC on the driver side a couple times after wheeling. Now it barely kisses after a hard run. Passenger BMC never touched at all. Rear liner kisses a little at full tuck, but nothing concerning.

 

Good lord that's sexy.

@snow_trd I noticed you are not running front fender liners, are you not concern with dirt/debris going in there? would the tires go into fenders under full compression?

 

this shot was taken in front of the shop that was going to perform my body mount chop and flatten out my pinch welds. I figured i would remove the fender liners to make it easier for him. I plan on putting the fender liners back on.

I still have yet to go off road with this setup, so haven’t tested yet if the tires can fully tuck into the fenders without rubbing anything. hoping to get out in the next couple of weeks.

 

makes sense, keep us posted!

 

What fenders are tjose
