    And that’s ultimately why I paid ballpark $200ish to buy used so I could try out some 33s for figment and whatnot. I don’t need to spend $1,200 to test a larger size if I can take someone else’s reasonably alright castoffs.

    It’s entirely possible I’ll get to half tread on my mickeys and be annoyed af about the noise. Well hafta see.

    I’ve got AT4’s on my 2500 Silverado and they are very quiet and smooth. But I prefer the Toyo Mt’s.

    I have Toyo M/Ts, trade ya? Great in deep powder and mud, but the AT4's have better road manners.

    They're pretty neat, $100 on facebook. They came optional on the 05-06 tundra/sequoia but weren't super common. look really good cleaned up, but I'm missing 2 center caps and none of the other caps fit them. people want way too much money for them so they will be capless as my winter tire set until I can find cheap caps.

    That's the toytec ultimate kit. They're pretty good. I'd recommend them for a basic lift and some light offroading. I coulda sworn it used to be called the boss kit.

    Bilsteins that are made for Toytec and they have a threaded body unlike other Bilsteins with perches.

    Those are Cooper st maxx on mine. Highly recommend if you do any offroad activities.

    Interesting. Wonder how they compare to 6112s tuning-wise.

    What he said. They're just threaded 5100s. I didn't realize that so I got the aluma rear shocks. It was overkill at the time, but now I need to upgrade the front to alumas as well.

    Iirc, the 6112s are digressive, whereas the 5100s are more linear. I could be completley fucked off on that though.

    Very possible. I talked with @memario1214 about it, but it was months ago and, well, you know. I do remember he recommended alumas for me since I do more crawling than fast boi shit. ADD sucks.

    I think that would make sense then. Linear is good for the slow stuff since it has soft damping at slow travel speeds. Digressive can be good for the fast stuff since it has firm damping at higher travel speeds.

    16x7" +15mm offset. Part number 42611-AF100. Compared to stock 17x7.5", the Outside wheel edge on these moves in toward truck 3mm, but the inside edge moves away from truck and UCA 9mm. little bit more clearance and I think they look really neat.

    Gotta wait until my snow tires are done being on national back order haha. They might have got a shipment in recently. Nokian still make their snow tires in Finland, 265/75r16 D-load studded LT3 with 16.5/32 tread. 31.7” down from 33.4”, but oh well.

    Have found Noco makes the felt discs too for $.99/set presoaked in oil that seem to work better than the dry felt. Probably like @shifty` is accomplishing by adding the grease. And the cleaner can remove corrosion where can't otherwise get to in the cables and connectors.

    I was given the option by Discount Tire to exchange the Cooper Discoverer AT3 LT's I'm running if I didn't like them when I purchased them.

    I got real lucky. Small, regional chain, small town with a lot of personal relationships. They didn't have the tire in my stock size, and the employees recommended 265 75 16. It was only after being out on the highway and driving a few dirt roads that I finally backed out of a parking spot and had the wheel at full lock and heard/felt rubbing. I nicely made my case, the owner took a look at the tires and decided if she found the right person, she could sell them as new. So they took them back. But generally, unless it's their screwup, I don't see them taking used tires back.

    I don't think they were happy with me.

    They've offered that to us on various vehicles as well, but never needed to do it. I imagine they give you a prorated amount if you do return them.

    The whole state is incredibly beautiful, IMHO, but I can only go during certain times of the year because, you know...cold :D
