Thanks for the pics, do you have to run the spacers???? And I assume those are the 33X12.5 17 Pro Comps? your truck is close to the stance I was looking for until I budget a lift into the shop budget!

I think I got them from CorrecTrack, www.correctrack.com, they are the steel versions. I didn't really feel safe with the aluminum while towing. They are a little pricey, around $350.

stepuptata - Yes these are only on the rear.

BIG MACZ - I do not have to run the spacers, just wanted the rear to be as wide as the front. Yes, these are the Pro Comp A/T's. I also have 2" blocks in the rear with the green keys up front.

I used 1.75" which was enough to use factory H2 center caps and a perfect F to R trac. I also figured at 1.75" thick (which is twice as thick as the wheel mounting surface) aluminum would be O.K. , as the wheel will probably break first.

Correc traack all the way. The difference in towing stability, drivability and appearence of the tires looking the same is IMO http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/blahblah.gif

Does'nt realy matter what tires, I just want to see what the rear looks like with them, rims are not important.

Hey Bigmac,

If you can wait until this evening, I will take a shot of mine. I'm running a set of H2 takeoffs (315) with the correctrack spacers. But if I were you, I would go ahead and order. They are top quality and worth the $$$.

I did an install and took bunch of pics

Okay,
Here are the photo's. The last two I believe are the comparisons in track width. All in all the install was fairly simple. You'll need a torque wrench(up to 150lb.) your factory jack and lug wrench will work fine until you put the spacers on then you will need a socket,extension and torque wrench. make sure you remove the assembly/rotor keepers from the studs(2 each side). If you can change a tire, You can do this! The overall ride is much more stable especially around sweeping turns as understeer is now eliminated. I bought the centramatics to help balance the Mud Terrains Which before seemed to be an un ending task. Overall ride is a huge improvement! I'd be glad to answer any questions.


Pepperidge,

Hey man, how do those balancers work out for ya?Lennart they are centramatic wheel balancers you can check them out here...
http://www.centramatic.com (http://www.centramatic.com/)
watch the video http://www.centramatic.com/Demo/video2.mpg

The have a rolled rim filled with hardened steel shot and synthetic oil. they place the weight wher the tire needs it at any given moment...

They have extended my tire life a good bid ... no chopping or high and low spots... The 285 Mud tires I ran(dueller MT's wore pretty un-even without them and the laredos' shown in the pictures actually got some correction from them and lasted a bit longer than I would have thought...

The 285 dueller A/t Revo's I have now are perfect about 15k and still like new
No worries about balancing just rotate as needed...

Protects from brake dust pretty good too.

Do they make any noise when rolling down the road or coming to a stop - pulling out from a stop?

I was told that I was gonna hear a small noise at a slow rolling speed IIRC up to 20mph... but the truck engine idling and or accelerating seems to cover it... I have not heard anything yet...
