Looks sweet

[DMan1198]

Thanks. I'll build sides, and a top for it one day.

What air pressure in the front seems to treat tires the best? I was thinking 65ish front and 52 rear (truck doesn't get worked).

[stuffy]

Somewhere in there is probably good. I think les schwab has always done about 65 all the way around in mine but it would make sense to put less in the back

[spencerdiesel]

Sounds good to me. Ill be ordering toyo m55's within 2 days

[DMan1198]

I have 44 in mine since that's their rated max pressure. I think I put 55 in the front of my 4th gen.

[DodgeFreak]

You must have P- tires on your truck then Dman?? What are the Toyo's rating?? that will make a difference in how much air you put in.

[DMan1198]

Yeah the fronts are Bridgestone light duty tires. They're rated at a little over 2600 pounds, but they work very well in the winter. The backs are Avalanche something rather that are rated at 3400, but are terrible everywhere but dry pavement (I literally lit them up with almost no throttle in 2nd the other day in the wet)

[stuffy]

Wow. I thought all pickup tires were 80 max

[DodgeFreak]

LT tires are which is what should be on 3\4 up trucks but P tires are 44. You can get away with running P tires if you don't haul much. I say that but I have P tires on the rear of my truck and I've hauled pretty heavy loads with it and surprisingly they haven't blown yet. Now that I think about it I wonder how much that has an effect on mileage when loaded.

[Farmboy]

its load range E only for this guy....

[PToombs]

I usually run 40-50 in the rear and 50-55 in the front when I'm empty. Loaded is 65-70 front and 80 rear.

The wheels are looking to be Eagle alloy 058's. The 4.25" backspace should just barely fit....right?

[DodgeFreak]

barely fit what?? inside the fenders?? I'm not sure what back spacing mine are because I didn't buy them I got them and tossed them on. I will be pulling them off and putting 17s on so I can measure my backspacing to give you an idea.

[spencerdiesel]

Thanks man. I believe they hit the calipers somewhere around 4.5" backspace. I was wanting the wheels to be good and under the fenders
