Considering Rancho 4", wheels, and tires. Opinions?
#31
UARandy3, I am running some 295-70x18 Nitto Trail Grapplers mounted on 18x8.5 XD Series Spy's with 18mm Offset. I put in a 2.5" Autospring Leveling kit when I put this wheel/tire combo on but I am getting a little rub on the front valence when backing and turning (like out of the driveway). This is what made me decide to go ahead with a lift. I'm not much into trimming.
These wheels give my truck a nice stance, but stick out just enough that I think I will end up with a small flare eventually. Just gotta find the right ones. I'm about to have a fit to get my hands on some of the flares that Tuscany puts on their Badlander and Black Ops trucks but they wont sell them to me.

Zero rubbing with the TOYO ATII extreme 35x12.5 OEM wheels one mine. I have the Rancho 4inch lift kit with 9000 ser adj shocks and the just stick out a little from the sides and it still fits in a 7foot door. The truck sits at 82.9". The Rancho RS9000 XL Shocks are nice upgrades to stock...

As promised here are the pics of my new Rancho 4". I put 285/65R18 Toyo OC AT2 wrapped around 18" fuel pumps. I threw in some wheel to wheel NFAB steps so the wife could still get in.

So how does it ride? What settings are you running on the shocks?
Thanks for the pics making me more impatient waiting for all my stuff to arrive haha

Thanks man. I haven't checked the settings on the shocks yet. It rides a little more rough than stock but adjusting the shocks may help. I just took a 243 mile trip today through mountains and averaged 17mpg. Thank goodness for Mike at 5 star and his 87 perf/tow tune.

I love that tune! I haven't gotten quite that good of mileage with my 295s but I can get about 17.5 on flat highway and more like 15-15.5 in stop and go through town. It's just too hard to keep my foot out of the skinny pedal with the tune, CAI, and exhaust haha. And since it isn't my DD, I'm usually not TOO concerned with my mpg. I actually just had him update my tunes for the new tire/wheel size also.

Yeah I got mine sent with the new wheel and tire size combo. I'm currently using the stock intake and exhaust. I'm debating what I want to do about them. I don't want any drone but want more rumble when I get on the skinny pedal.
