almost done with the truck (yeah right)....

just picked up bechlyf's old kook's 35/12.50/18, here's a comparison shot between the truck with the spindles/radflos in front 2.25 saw piggybacks/2.5" deavers in the rear with my old nitto terra grappler 285/60/18 vs. the same suspension set up with the hankook 35/12.50/18

terra grapplers:

hankooks:

thanks....i knew those nittos were too small, but i just didn't realize how small until i saw the hankooks on there...the kooks have been nice so far, they're not loud at all, especially for mud tires....

only negative is that i've seen the mpg drop considerably....went from 15-16 down to about 13

....but, i guess you gotta pay to play right??

For every single rotation of the 35's your truck moves a further distance. so if the speedo reads 75 mph you might be around 80 mph, your speedometer will be off and so will your tripometer they will read less. if the tripometer says you went 260 miles on that tank you have actually gone more. the odometer will read less too
