    I'm not against running 34.6"s since that's 9/10" inch more ground clearance, but only after having serious firewall/ cab surgery the proper way. I'd need to run spacers with my current wheels to clear any more width than 285s though since BFG doesn't make a skinny 16x35" tire.

    This is my driver's side frame rub after about 5 years of 285/75/16 with 4.5" backspace and ~4.0 caster.

    Spacers. Then you'll rub the back of the wheel wells. Then you will want to adjust the caster forward. Or do some surgery

    My OCD says put LED bulbs in your corners so they blink as fast as your projector shrouds. LOL.

    Those are angel eyes aka halos. Demon eyes are just center LEDs behind the projector like I have

    My current tires are 33.4x11.6 and my SPCs are set to -1.75°. if I install the 1" body lift in my parts pile and set the SPCs to -2.00° and buy Solo UCAs, I bet I can run 35x10.5 Kenda Klever tires with a little minor trimming of the fenders

    You can try #1 although I don't know much about SPC...

    I had very minor frame rub in the same place that stopped as soon as I had a bit of wear on the tires.

    I run 3/4" steel spacers up front. Those won't come off.

    Yup. My search for 35x10.5x16 turns up nothing but some serious mud tires. They have em for 17s though.

    Nope. They are just a little led chip that illumatrs the "eye" or glass part for a different look. I don't have them wired in because I wasn't aware the stuff I bought didn't come with the driver needed to make them shut off when the actual headlight turns on

    Fun times ^^

    Look who came back to pay a visit today. Same story as before: Code appeared within 3 blocks of the house after a very-cold start. This go-round, the truck was dragging ass a little after each shift so I popped in my MX+ dongle, cleared the code, and it immediately began running like normal. Checked after stopping, no 'pending' code. super weird.

    Really not looking forward to popping off my intake to investigate, so I may just buy a snake cam to look under the manifold. I know 100% where I park the truck every night is sealed, indoors, with zero evidence of rodents, and that's the only place it's stayed overnight in years. I suppose it's possible something crawled up in there while I was getting a line wet or parked off the beaten path, but ... Meh.

    Just seeing this. Do you have a single color demon?
    Just found out I have to either run a separate switch or just have the demon eye be drowned out by the projectors at night...I swear I saw there was a way to wore in a driver of some sort to make them turn off but apparently that's only for the RGB setup.

    Well I think I solved the mystery of why only I can’t bleed the rear brakes with a 10 mm box wrench.

    Turns out the OD on the 1/4” ID hose needs to be 5/16” instead of 3/8” for the box end to fit over it.

    Now if I could only find where they sell it at a local store. Everyone seems to only have the 3/8” OD hose.

    Go with #1 first and take it to "G." I rubbed a bit on the front fender flare after that. I used a dremel to take out a bit of the inside where it's not visible and no more rubbing. If that doesn't work, or isn't your choice, then I would go #3, just because I don't like spacers.

    Mines cheap, so the LED is one color and comes on with the ambers. It is drowned out by the HIDs when the headlights are on

    Replaced driver side shock after 20yrs/205K miles. Fortunately it's been a W TN resident it's whole life and F'n rust was not an issue. Pretty sure once I get pass side on tomorrow and do a test drive, I might notice a difference. Seems driver side had seen better days.

    2-shocks....OEM 48531-09330(48531-AF110), same as originals

    Holyshit, you still have the Ferd?

    I had to drink a bottle of that stuff as a kid for some GI contrast stuff. I was 12 or 13 at the time and had just passed my 1st kidney stone. This was bitd, before doctors recognized kids readily got kidney stones. They made me do so many friggin tests man. Never did figure it out, not 'til I was in my late 20s and had 4-5 episodes under my belt.
