Autospring ordered, Now it's Tire decision Time
Ordered the Autospring 2" kit from ebay yesterday....$115 delivered. Now I need to make a decision regarding tires. I am keeping my stock 18" wheels. I want to go bigger than my stock tires. Right now I'm leaning towards the BFG Mud Terrains 35-1250R-18/D2 or the Nitto Terra Grappler AT LT325/60R18D2.
Nitto also offers the Terra Grappler in an LT325/65R18D2. What is the difference in the two Nitto's? Is the 65 just taller? The 65 is also more expensive, FYI.

Ahh the wheel and tire choice delima. Check out my thread about polished wheels, I just bumped it back up to the top. If you're gonna run Nitto 325/65's on the factory 18" wheel you'll need wheel spacers. Search for a guy named PORKCHOP, as he had this same set up for a while. The 325/65 is a ~35" tire, not to familar with your other choice. But I think a lot of the guys around here are running Nitto's and I haven't read any complaints about them yet.
I had my 2" autospring installed over a week ago and my truck has set in the driveway ever since because I'm waiting until I get new wheels and tires to have my front end aligned, no need in paying twice!

They (325's) are a little too wide for your stock 7.5 inch wheels. Other people are running that combo but it's too early to tell if they will have any wear problems. I don't think you would have any problems with a 12.50 inch wide tire. I've talked to several people running that combo for several thousand miles without any problems at all.

Hey PorkChop,
Where did you get those wheels? I did a search for those and couldn't find them. Those are the nicest wheels I have seen on these trucks to date.
I am also interested in placing 35's (325's) on my truck and love your set up. Can you give me specs on the wheels and tires, please.
Thanx,
