Lift and New Shoes & Socks

[DeepH20Driller]

Had the Thuren 3/1 installed last week. Also, 37x12.50x20 Ridg Graps w/ 20x10 Hostile Sprocket. Took it for a 500 mile trip shortly after and love it.

Really cool. It'd be a shame to get that frame dirty.

Truck looks great but she's squatting pretty bad with your trailer on. For your 1" rear did you install new coils or a spacer? I wouldn't think a SxS on that small of a trailer would cause your rear to sag so much. Can you post a pic of your truck unloaded?

New coils. It sits level without trailer. Don’t have any pics without trailer.

It’s a 16’ dual axle trailer and a fully loaded 4 seat SxS.

That's one of the down sides to the rear soft rate coils, less payload capacity and more sag. Going to be even more exaggerated on a mega cab with ramboxes.

I just installed the same but, used the Thuren 1" spacer in the rear. Can't decide between 35's or 37's. What offset are you running and how much rubbing - if any? Thanks

I went with 20 x 10 with -19 offset. Had to do some trimming of plastic and pinch weld. If you stay with +18 offset, you should only have minimal plastic trimming. For me, 35’s are to small for fender well. 37’s are perfect. Here’s a guideline from CJC you can go by:

Or you can go with a narrower rim than the 10" he has.

They make wheels narrower than 10”?

9" wide is pretty much the standard for aftermarket truck wheels

I have 18x9's with +18mm offset and am running 37s. Minimal trimming of the plastic fender liner was all I needed and no longer have any rub. Im also on stock suspension so any lift/level would probably require less trimming then what I needed.

I don’t think that’s the case. Maybe 20 yrs ago.

 

[DeepH20Driller]

I believe my rear end is a little lower than front to begin with. Gonna make a 900 mile trip this week. What parts that need to settle, will have settled by then. I’ll end up installing Thuren rear spacer kit. Thuren had already told me there would likely be a difference in rear due to MegaCab and RamBoxes. I’ll get a true measurement when I get back home and see.

I didn't know Thuren made a 3" front coil?? Ill have to go have another look.

It’s for Hemi. Cummins is 2.75”

It's the case. Just look at any major wheel manufacturer. The majority of the 8 lug wheels are 9" wide. Yes there are 10's but most are 9's.

Bah. Dammit. Had me excited for a minute.

I think @DeepH20Driller was questioning your usage of the word "standard". His response was that they may have been the "standard" 20yrs ago, but that nowadays all the young kids be going "mega-poke" !

I went +18 offset on a 18x9. I'm pretty sure he is aware of the availability of a 9-wide.

Bingo! Thanks, brother!
