Those would definitely rub on an un-trimmed truck. You can see the camel cut on the front, and can see where it would have benefitted from a camel cut in the rear.


Nice looking truck, though!

 

Have you driven it on the highway? I was worried mine would be a total turd with that tall of a tire.

 

Yep. I drove it back from Seattle to Montana (585 miles) mix of 2 lane highway and interstate and again on a 200 mile round trip here in Montana.

Remember, I am at around 5500' elevation. It will cruise easily at 70mph on the flats. Running up the passes from 3500' to 7000' I definitely see slow down - to about 50 mph. On a very very long steady rise to West Yellowstone in a big headwind (headwind was about 30 mph continuous for about 20 minutes) it was struggling to maintain 60 mph - but again this was a long uphill (though not drastic like a mountain pass). On the way back with the tailwind I was running 80 mph. It also has the stock 3.9 with no modifications other than a snorkel.

I'm sucking +/- 20% less oxygen in the atmosphere at this altitude.

On the trip back from Seattle I was running 11 mpg average, but again - up and down mountains and running 70mph when I could.

Day to day driving it has plenty of get up and go. I was considering moving to a 235-85-16 but the tire guy said he didn't think I'd see any gain in mpg or speed so I'll wear these out then consider the smaller tire.

 

Went with the 32" and a 2" Terrafirma lift kit. Man the 2" suspension kit raised it more than the 2" lift spacers I used to use. Looks great...
