I have the Autospring 2.5 and I'm debating between 33's and 35's on my stock 18" FX4 wheels. I have the 5.4 with 3.73 ls rear end. Will I notice a huge power and mpg loss with 35's without regearing? The stock tires are 32's so 33's shouldn't cause much difference. I'm debating between BFG AT's, BFG MT's, and Toyo MT's. I don't do a whole lot of off roading but I want an aggressive look but still street friendly and I've had experience with both BFG's and heard the Toyo's are very street friendly. I don't drive my truck a whole lot b/c I drive a company truck during the week so it won't be on the road constantly. The Toyo's are my favorite by far. Any suggestions?

 

I'm running 35 bfg mt. my truck still has good power and gets between 13.5 to 15 mpg. the bf's do make a lot of noise but i like it. they work real good on the farm pulling 1000 gal tanks around fields, plenty of grip for me.

 

Do you have a leveling kit? or is that how much your brush guard makes your front end dive?

 

i've got a daystar 2.5" kit on the front, but i will agree in the pic it looks like it is nose diving a little. i'm thinking strongly about putting a 6" lift on, i think it would look better. what do ya'll think?

 

6" with new wheels. I know Im going for Rancho lift with some 35s soon as my tires wear down and I get some extra money saved up.

 

I like the look of the Toyo's myself (only reason I haven't gotten rid of them yet), but they weight about twice as much as the BFG M/Ts, and that can put a hurtin on your MPGs.

 

I almost got the Toyos but decided to go Nitto Muds. They are the loudest tire I've ever had, but I love how they look. They also are heavy. Didn't lose much, but then I installed the Xcal 93 Octane Performace program . . . My truck is quicker and more powerful now then it was with stock program and tires.

 

So I have had my 2005 Supercrew 4x4 XLT for a week and its time to start modding... I have the LT handles on backorder, I ordered the daystar leveling kit (2.5") and am about to buy tires. I have the 17" Painted accent wheels as you can see below. Would the 35" BFG mud terrains fit with just the leveling kit. Pickupsman, your truck has the look im shooting for. Does the FX4 sit any higher than the normal 4x4, so will I have a problem with rubbing and such. Thanks, this is just the first of many questions to come.

Thanks

pickupsman

do you rub at all with your setup? im thinking of going with 325/60 18 on my stockers...just want to make sure it'll work out. if im not mistaken, 35's are a tad bigger than the 325/60 18???

 

the 35's will touch the top control arm if you hold it on the lock. i've been running this setup for about 3 months with no trouble. i don't think you will have any trouble. go for it.

 

hey dkm2 what in the world is the Xcal 93 Octane Performace program it sounds like it would be something to invest my money in when I get the 35's. How much did it cost? What is it? Where did you get it?

 

Clemson, check out the Chips and Programming section on this website to find out more about the xcal.

 

Does anybody know the weight of 35/12.5R18 BFG Muds. Shipping to Alaska SUCKS

 

I was told by a BFG rep that the M/Ts were 68 lbs each.

 

You buy the Xcalibrator or Xcalibrator 2 which is a PCM flasher. The newest (2) version also reads codes and data logs. I got mine from Troyer Performance. It comes with 3 tunes. I got 87 performance, 93 tow, and 93 performance. It is awesome. Search the Chips forum, there is a lot of threads on it. Then call Mike Troyer and tell him your a member of this forum, he'll give you a good deal. You will not regret it.
