Raceline renegades? That'll look good, wanted those on my last truck. The main thing is not going to an E load range, that's where all the weight is. These terras I have now are still Es and are 19lbs lighter lol

I will say the new tires are a good bit bigger than I thought they would be, almost too big.


ALMOST :rofl:

And the ride too. E load range is mostly 10 ply. These P metric are 4 ply hoping for nice and cushy lol. I don't even think when I worked with my truck I ever needed the e load range tires. These p metrics are still rated for 2,000+ pounds which is more than enough for anything if put in my bed

You think I could drop it a good bit on these? I think I could get it pretty damn low with some stock keys and shackles on these. Especially cuz of how much I'm trimmed lol

IMO. I need load range Es cuz I tow alot and some pretty decent weight sometimes but I'll just have to be more careful and not tow as much in the future. Although, it had P load on it when I first bought it and towed my boss' heavy ass car trailer with a 68 Camaro on it without any issue. I'll probably go load range D next so I can tow without worry if need be

285/55? probably remove the body lift is all. Width is more of an issue than the height, you could do a 2/4 with 275/55 with minimal rubbing. All depends on how low you're looking to go, 2/4 with 265/50 is ideal but if you want to go lower than that I'd recommend a 275/45.

Yeah I towed a small backhoe onetime and the truck struggled major lol but that is due to the engine and trans more so than the tires

Thinking I might try to find some 275/55s on CL for like $100 and see how low I can go first

I still plan on getting some even lighter tires and going down. Just gotta scrounge up the few parts and find the time

That shouldn't be too hard to find honestly. If you weren't so far away I'd help you find a set down here. :(
 
Not really. Honestly I'll probably start with decranking these keys all the way and see where that gets me. Then trade someone for stock keys or just buy some and get some shackles/pull the block. Don't really wanna do much more than that. I bet I'll need to get some angle shims for the rear too

No shims here on a 2in shackle with stock block

I've got 2" shackles if you want them. Just sitting in storage right now. Still need to put the shims back in mine, have to source some longer u-bolts first.
