  1. i take it back on the balance beads. still feel a shudder in the steering wheel when above 55-60. i ended up getting my rear left balanced regularly because i could see the slight wiggle while driving which persists even still. i only see it on the rear left and it’s not the bearing as there’s no play in the wheel when i jack it up And i don’t see it in the front tires even with the steering shudder at high speeds. so i’m lost on this one, any ideas?

  5. you mean lr9447s right? they’re the land rover springs that go with the 2” lift you have. you should get ahold of bump stops off an f250 that’s what i’ve read a lot of others doing after getting the longer shocks. you also need to check to make sure your diff breather tube and brake lines are okay at full flex at that point. also welcome to NPORA!!

  7. thank you!! i love them so far, you barely hear them and that’s unheard of for mud tires. while they are slightly under 33s (32.5),they were advertised as 33x12.50 on a 10” wide rim so that’s probably why mine measured 11-11.5 on the 15x8. such a perfect fit i can just get my knuckle between the tire and strut thanks to the 3.75” backspacing. i also barely noticed them as terms of acceleration the3.5 handles them fine. i’ve been reading that “need to regear” thread and while i haven’t been in 4low yet, it’s definitely not necessary for road driving. still gets right up to speed no problem. i also balanced them with balancing beads and they also seem to work well so far! up next is putting on the manual hubs, change out the cvs and repair the old ones, finish painting my black striping along the bottom edge of everything, and maybe four round led lights where the grill goes? yes i think so. lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk OH AND I FORGOT TO ADD PRICES these tires right now are the cheapest i could find in this size other than the nankung (spelling?) muds from walmart that have absolutely no sipping at all (i deal with snow and these actually have great snow reviews those mankind’s do NOT lol). tires were 146 a piece from amazon (walmart has them for same price everywhere else wanted about 160-180 for them). Rims were 46 a piece from bbwheels.com.
  8. actual tire measurements are 32.5x11.5 on 15 with 3.75” backspacing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. TIRES AND RIMS ARE ON Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. how about the 33s? (that actually measure 32.5x11.5 after inflation on 15” rim) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. i wonder if that’s the same for 03s [emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. these are the tires i should be buying within the next two weeks hopefully. they are 3 mountain snowflake approved and the next cheapest aggressive tire i could find since the fallen at3ws prices have skyrocketed recently Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. i did it .. i ordered the wheels from 4wheelparts.com 39.99 a wheel for 15s with 3.75 backspacing and comes with lugs and caps Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. about time i got to go fishing with friends Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. yeah the one time i’m not wearing my impact gloves this happens smh i was even wearing my face shield...you’d think i’d have remembered the glove too lol. i’m glad too only have ended up with three stitches though so wasn’t too bad. it’s good to know those bolts might break on me so i’ll definetly be doing this one when another car is home lol.

  16. mine also has that bracket with nothing there i’ve been wondering about what that was lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. i ordered hubs and remanufactured cvs as well as boots to make the current non clicking but torn cvs a good backup. i’m assuming remanufactured is just a good set of nissan oe with new boots-99$ both sides from detroit axles. the hubs i ordered are knock off brand for 65$ and measure 3.1” at their dial end. my se wheels inner lip makes the opening 3.23” so let’s see how accurate amazons measurements are. decided against wheel spacers and to go with 15” 3.75 offset black steelies 49$ a piece from bbwheels. 256ish $ after lugs and stems and i’ll order some tire balancing beads when i order tires sooner rather than later as i’ve discovered...DRYROT[emoji33] might go with 33x12.50 ironman all country mts just because they’re 579$ for four tires and that’s pretty great to me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. so far only thing that’s stopping me from buying my hubs is the decision between spacers nd new wheels. i did find wheels for stupid cheap 15x8 with 3.75 backspacing i think they’re like 39$ a piece. i could get the wheels and wait an extra week before i do the cv boots and hubs or i can get the spacers and what not now and be able to do it a week sooner but i’ll still need to get new rims down the road for the tires i want. the spacers nearly feel like they’ll be a waste of money but like they definitely aren’t at the same time. any advice?

  19. did you use a heat gun and plastic for this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  21. you’re right. i’m going to see about pricing out how much of a difference it’ll be because i’ll need a wider rim either way so it’s 15x8with either -19offset or regular 45mm with a spacer. i remember seeing super cheap rims this sizing last i looked Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. mile marker 435 is the one that fits these wheels or just the ones best for the truck? i know it needs 28 spline and i’ve also heard some hubs need the studs changed while others don’t? is this true? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. it sounds to me like i’m gonna be buying a set of steelies at some point then! i’ll probably go with the 15x8 with that -19mm offset if i’m gonna do new rims. the only reason i might not get them yet is because when i do new cv boot i was planning on putting a set of manual hubs on and i’ve heard you need spacers with these wheels and manual hubs due to the hole being tapered in the se wheels. i can always just hold off the hubs though too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. that’s right! i got home after getting only three stitches but she said i was lucky because i nearly severed my tendon after the main knuckle on my left pointer finger. But as soon as i got home i finished painting the fender i was originally working on! not the greatest picture and it’s okay that it’s not perfect yet. i’m needing to get white for other areas of the truck so it’ll get cleaned up then. i’m going to do the rocker panels and front fender aswell but i’m done for today with the grinder lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. so i got hurt today working on the truck! hit my finger with the grinder while taking paint off the fenders to paint it black. getting stitches. again. ugh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
