Hey guys,
So yesterday put my first leveling kit on my 04 supercab, went very smoothly except having to spend an hour waiting for a ride to get a 30 mm deep socket..
Anyways, looks great in my opinion,
just need to put my tires on the back and get it aligned this morning when pennzoil opens. My questions:

1) how often do you guys rotate your tires after this?
I have brand new 33" m/t and the 2.5 level from hbs

2) do you always have to reset? the speedometer after doing a level?

3) Has anyone heard of nitropro?
If not check out pennzoils Web site.
20$ and they fill your tires with nitrogen. Said* to improve handling, tire life, never check pressure again, yadadada...
sounds nice but has anyone tried it?
I'm very tempted :0

Let me know guys, also pics coming right after the alignment is done

Thanks!

 

My answers:
1) Tire rotation is based on mileage and assumes proper alignment. Every 4-5,000 miles should be adequate, provided they are wearing properly.

2) Speedometer adjustment via tuner, etc is often required due to increase in circumference of the bigger tires, not the lift. Your new tires will likely turn less revolutions per mile, assuming the 33's are taller than the tires they replaced.

3) Nitrogen inflation has been around for years. The benefit is not having to check inflation and adjust psi as often. Their claims of improving handling and tire wear assume vehicle owner is negligent and does not keep tires properly inflated. Make sure they supply green valvestem caps. Is it worth $20?

 

Rotate as you normally would.

X2 on what Kevin said about the tuner.

I don't believe anything about the nitrogen inflation. I fill mine with air and check them monthly. It's easy and I always know where they're at.

 

Thanks for the info.
I'll have to look into the speedometer adjustment whenever I get some more time.
As for the nitrogen thing, Im always Checking air pressure after 3 gas stops or so. I guess that doesn't really matter to me. probably adding more nitrogen tothe tires if you needed would be a hassle waiting in line at a pennzoil and all that.

And im assuming that if you really needed to put air in at a regular air pump while on the road, it would pretty much put the tire back to the way it was originally. Less nitrogen and such.
For me it was the first time hearing about it and they were really trying to sell that through their ads lol
But you're exactly right, it would have to be worth the $20 to certain people who are bad at keeping an eye on it.

I appreciate the help though!

 

she's not too pretty but I like her

 

78% of the atmosphere is Nitrogen. You aren't gaining much for your $20.00

rotate every oil change and all will be well.

As stated earlier a tuner is the only way to correct the speedo.

 

I'd rotate every 3k with Nitto Mud Grapplers. They wear pretty close to the same way boggers do so they need all the help they can get.

 

is that truck 2wd? my truck sits quite a bit higher all stock

 

Yeah just basic xl 2wd
