Thanks, I have been on the fence deciding between 285's or 315's for my Raptor wheels.

With a 2" level, you'll have no problem with rubbing with the Raptor wheels and the 315s.

I figure I'll be OK, even if I have to do a wee bit of trimming. What is really holding me back right now is the weight. I really like the performance I currently get and the mpg's are pretty good. I'm sure I'll take a noticeable hit on both going to 315's. If I went 285's, I would even look at P rated TOYO's.

Sorry for the thread jack, back to today's news!

Today I washed the truck and made some progress on the latest Hydro-dip project. I messed it up the first round (pic below), but re-dipped today it came out good. I'll post up the final results once installed.

What kind of tint film and what percent? And did you tint the headlights too?

Looks really nice! 👍

My 2011 xl with running boards installed and the filler panel above bumper painted with Rustoleum Peel Coat Silver (like plastidip). I think it gives the truck a higher end look without the expense of buying the smooth paintable panel.

Looks like it matched pretty good. Good job.

Looks awesome man, I'd really like to try this someday when I'm feeling ambitious. My front door trim pieces are painted black, but I haven't felt like doing the rear doors yet. Had to wait all winter after I did the front pieces and just lost interest lol. I really need to re-do the fronts and sand them smooth to remove the texture or something. Kind of bothers me. Some day it'll get done!

Passed emissions on the forth try. It was the carb that was the problem ,power valve and jets needed replaced. Good to go.
