I really like these.....but 18"........what tires size?

I actually like these....but 20" and 5 on 5

Bling.....not so much....

Typical but acceptable.....I guess.....

I'm looking at wheels and tires, I usually have my sights set about 3 months out so I have plenty of time to shop. Casually searching- The cool wheels are now 16-17-18" and beyond. None, except the common boring wheel, are hub-centric. 9" widths are not so common. Neither is 5x4.5 anymore, apparently. Offsets seem unfriendly. All black seems to be the fad of the day. Chrome is out of reach. And I have no idea what tire size is comparable to 32x15 in say a 17" wheel size. Have any of you gone all out on custom wheels? larger diameters? non-hub-centric? Anyone have a clue how to seek out a comparison in tire sizes? Thanks

Don't check the fuel pump relay, replace it. If that is not it, replace the CPS. If that is not it, may be the MAP.

The proper way to modify an air box.

Metric Thread Pitch With thanks to boltdepot.com Bolt Diameter Standard Thread Pitch (mm) Fine Thread Pitch (mm) Extra Fine Thread Pitch (mm) 4mm 0.70 - - 5mm 0.80 - - 6mm 1.00 - - 7mm 1.00 - - 8mm 1.25 1.00 - 10mm 1.50 1.25 1.00 12mm 1.75 1.50 1.25 14mm 2.00 1.50 - 16mm 2.00 - - 18mm 2.50 - - 20mm 2.50 - - 24mm 3.00 - - Size Identification: Metric bolts are written down as an "M" followed by 3 numbers. For example M10x1.25x35 The first number is the diameter, the second the thread pitch, and the third the length all in millimeters. The example is therefore a 10mm diameter fine thread bolt 35mm long. Thread pitch: The distance from one thread to the next, measured down the length of the fastener. Well, that didn't work out.\ http://www.raygirling.com/metthrpt.htm

Maybe in the Great White North but here in the US you will get 6x1.0 Other pitches don't come in until you get to 8mm

Nice truck, real nice. Is this pic with the Moog springs?

?

Yeah, I have not reported on it yet but he will also be missing the ride of the OMEs springs too. My Bilsteins came to life in the front, shocks cannot compensate for poor springs..what a difference!! The JKS adjustable is a mistake, but it's one I cannot talk him out of. The Gabriels on the rear feel a little better today.....but still.......OMEs when I can afford it. And most definitely, the WJ LCAs are a must. I don't know if you're referring to me, but I have yet to install the JKS adjustables (still in the mail) and am all ears if anyone here thinks it is a bad idea. So far, the only objection I heard was that you'd have to cut the bump-stops off, which I don't think is necessary on my truck. I was interested in the adjustable spacers not only because I need a little height boost up front, but also because they will give me the ability to dial in the height to compensate for future changes, so they seemed better than a simple poly spacer. If it is going to make the truck ride rough on the street, then I may want to reconsider, and am very open to that. I had hoped the Moog upcountry springs would level it enough, but sadly no. Do you consider the Moog springs "poor" because they are a bad brand or because they are too short? I do not want to pull those coil springs out now, install longer springs, and then realize it still isn't level, so that's part of the appeal of the JKS spacers. Most importantly though, I don't want the truck to ride like sh** and/or look stupidly slanted one way or the other, so if I need to send those back and install new leafs or coils, whatever, I want the truck to be right and am willing to experiment a bit to get there. Thanks for the advice, I'm still learning as fast as I can! The adjuster has 1.5" built in. IIRC by your other post you said that your front is now down 1", it will be .5" above your rear height with the JKS. I suppose you can go up one with the shackle now. Now having installed the OME springs and have drove on them for a few days, yeah, I'd think they are superior to Moog. You have not stated any measurements yet. The JKS is $240 IIRC. The OME and the .75" lift cost me $202. You only need the one spacer, so leveling out your truck with superior springs will cost you under $200 and you could return the Moogs. It's up to you, it's yours. What you are doing is what I was going to do and I'm glad I didn't.

OK. How is the ride on your GS springs? What shock are you using?

I considered that route and I called Morris about it. The ACOS forces you to cut off the the bumper stop from the spring mount.........ain't gonna happen. Get the OME springs and you'll be spot on with one isolator.

There is a DIY thread here whereas someone rebuilt one. Completely disassembled and reassembled, requires welding IIRC. Look it up.

You resurrected the dead, 8 year old thread.

6mm IIRC

Bad cables or bad starter.

Yeah, mine wonders now, after yesterdays small lift. I was thinking about picking up some from the JY or making my own.

My new pin to pin is 19", the Bilstein is 19.5", I was at the top of it. I would not recommend the Gabriels, ride suck compared to the Bilsteins, I'll do something about that later. Image Not Found

No, both tagged with the same numbers and no L or R. No literature in the box either, surprised about that.

OME coils, truck now sits level. Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found
