So like everyone else does, I'm spending weeks researching different wheel, tire, and suspension combos. Hoping to get some input from other owners.
I don't tow but maybe 6 times a year, and it's bumper pull 7-8k max. May have a few more this year due to hauling material in a dump trailer for stone and mulch.
I drive approximately 2500 miles a month, give or take. I take the truck off-road occasionally, mostly fire service roads through national forests. No rock crawling or anything terribly rough.
I like an aggressive look tire that has a decent tread wear to it.
Truck is a 2020 crew cab short bed diesel with off-road package. I've got 305/70/18 chinese mudders on it with no lift or level. Don't knock me, I got two of them free oh and they are 100% better than the "slide in the rain, spin on dry grass, wear like garbage" transforce tires.
What I am leaning towards is this:
Rough country spacer kit 2.5F 1R with the shocks
Vision 111 nemesis 17x9 -12 offset
Federal Couragia 37x12.5x17 E rated 10 ply
Price is something I am keeping in mind, as I am trying to stay within a certain budget. But for my proposed uses, I can't justify a Carli pin top and true bead locks. I'm not upset with the current ride quality, so I'm not seeing advantages to changing springs either.
What says the community?
