howdy folks.
2018 PW stock suspension. current tire size: 285 75 R17 (34inch tires).
the truck is already tall for a 5'9" dude that puts bicycles on the tailgate for transport, and the rooftop tent has supports that are already almost maxed out on length when on flat ground camping.
i would rather not lift it further, but it seems the capabilities simply grow when slightly lifted further, in that larger tires and suspension make it more capable off road and on.
question 1: I am looking at method standard 301 wheels with OMF beauty rings in either a 17 or 18 inch rim. i will only add larger tires if they do not protrude out the side, it must stay flush or very near flush with the truck side wall. so am i looking for the most positive offset i can find, right?
question 2: then either 35 or 37 x 12.5 tires?
question 3: do i adjust the suspension? is it worth it? carli pintop? thuren? looking for quality but not much more lift, if any (i am not tall).
question 4: because this is a 6-speed transmission (2018), is it worth it to bump up to 35 or 37s in the first place, even after adjusting the gear shifting with the AEV procal?
question 5: lame question, but purely aesthetically, what would look better?
thanks!
