coheed Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 That's much better. Ended up with a set of 235/85r16 Sumitomo encounter at's. They're essentially a 32x9.5x16. I wanted to get some 215/85r16s, but I ended up getting these on closeout cheaper than the cheapest 215/85s discount or tire rack had. Even with an E load rating they ride way better than the stock size KO2s on the wheels when I got them and the 31x10.5x15 KO2s that were on the gamblers. They're mostly road biased but had good rain and snow reviews, so we'll see. 80% of my driving is on road and the other 20 is mostly fsr or decently maintained 2 track, so I didn't feel like I needed to go with as aggressive of a tread as the KO2s. They're much quieter than the KO2s, so that's nice. They don't rub the control arms while turning since they're skinnier. We'll see if they rub anywhere else down the road.

ghetdjc320 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Out of curiosity, what rear axle do you have in that 86? For some reason, it’s looking a little narrower in the rear than I’m used to seeing but maybe it’s just the picture angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheels look super sunken in especially coming from the 8 inch wide gamblers and inch wider tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coheed Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 Brand new windshield with the rubber gasket. It's like having glasses for the first time. OEM slider. Having more airflow without a/c is great. Mostly complete interior. This is the most interior I've ever had in this truck lol. I want to get some carpet and make a back panel out of plywood or something so I can mount stuff on it. The headliner from @a1500ram fits great and matches the honey perfectly. Gonna slap some spare industrial carpet squares a buddy has on the dog platform tomorrow before we head out for a weekend camping trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
