Some have emailed me about the 16x10 alloy wheels and LT265/75R16 load range E tires.
Why so wide, how does it ride, how does it look, etc.
Picture is just after getting it back from shop. Accident messed up right front suspension and fender. Mixed MS load range Es and AT load range Cs.
Notice how the sidewall does *NOT* have hardly any bendback. This gives the tire a bit rougher ride, but almost no slip angle. VERY responsive and does not heat up when loaded up to GVWR. Still silky smooth on highway, even when loaded up to GVWR.
These wheels and tires increase tire side to tire side about 10.5 inches from stock, so it corners like it's on rails. Even better when it had the IAS shocks. KYBs are now limiting when performance cornering (if not smooth, bouncy and uncontroled). NO rear anti-sway bar for me.
Not lifted, nor any suspension mods. Front wheel well, lower corners have been cut and does rub a bit when off roading (rear lower corner needs a bit more cut off). Note that 2500 vs 1500 has the 3/4 ton sit 2.0-2.5 inches higher, stock because of the bigger frame and higher rate springs.
