I've been fighting my Cooper's for months now. Took it for a drive today feels like a totally different truck. I'm sold

Definitely interested to see how these turn out for you after some time. It seems like 35 and up tires never like to really balance, run out round, stay balanced or a combination of each. Tire issues are enough to make you wanna walk to work.

Went to the dealer for filters since i forgot to order more offline. Ugh. But I needed to get a full service in before I lose these mild days were having. Was nice time off but I'm back to the hall tomorrow so here come the big miles again. 20200106_135647.jpg

I’m fighting a set right now too. Americus Rugged MT. They’re holding up extremely well. But Jesus the will not balance out. If they weren’t cheap and tough I’d toss em. I might have to try this. For now it’s bad highway drive but reliability off-road.

I have milestar at-r and in 275/65/20s. They balance and road force fine, but have bad run out at high speeds. It's not bad, but I drive so much I notice everything. Depending on my job site im commuting 1,000 a week. So yea.

How did they balance your 37s? Don't say balance bags....

I have no idea how shop I got em at balanced. They did my wife’s and we’re fine. I had them do mine twice and removed then I removed and hauled to discount and they still suck lol. Discount is road force I believe. I’m dealing with it cause they’re just holding up so well

The 37s I ran on my 2500 were the same way. I ended up running around at like 28psi and it helped alot lol.

I've only had my '15 1500 Express for about a month now but the mods are rolling in haha. Lets see, so far I have done:
RA2 swap
Pioneer 6x9s front and rear, Kicker 3.5s in dash
Cabin airfilter install
B&M Shifter knob (not super impressed, save your money for another mod!)
Underhood light and harness (with twisted loop LED 561 bulb)
Underdash lighting using the non-led light assemblies (has neutral white LED 194s in pic, doesn't match LED dome light, OCD triggered!)
LED dome light
Mopar high wall floor mats
Proclip 213515, Arkon 4-hole AMPS to 17mm ball, Slipgrip 17mm ball phone holder (rock solid mounting solution)
Amber 9006 LEDs in foglights
LED cargo lights, CHMSL, brake lights, reverse lights and license plate lights (I'm an LED ***** LOL)
Set foglights as DRL using AlphaOBD
Global window down
Mufflex DOD-M80 muffler delete
Hellwig rear sway bar and endlinks
Debadged huge chrome 1500 door emblems
Wadestar blind spot mirrors (why are the stock mirrors so damn terrible?!)

Paycheck, what paycheck? LOL So many mods to come. I'm now looking at a tuner and a Vararam intake. And the steering wheel radio buttons. And a silver wheel bezel. And a 2/3 or 4/6 lowering kit. And a tonneau cover. And wheels. And black headlights. And... And...

Been there done that. I thought my civic was bad for simple mods. Lol.

Those look quite interesting...

Tonight I installed red 3157 tower LEDs in my tail lights. They look like this:
3157-rahp28-t-2pk.jpg

There is plenty of room for taller LED bulbs in the stop/turn/taillight bulb location as the housing is pretty deep. I managed to only break one of the stupid plastic panel clips o_O.

However, look at the heat discoloration on the socket:

Of course I forgot to get a pic with the LEDs installed. They are super bright!
I got a bulb out warning as soon as I stepped on the brake pedal to test them. I changed the "rear LED turn signal" and "rear LED brake light" option to YES in AlfaOBD and cleared the stored codes in the BCM. No more errors! These are not CANBUS LED bulbs either. I just ordered the same version of these but in amber for the front signals (quad beam headlights).

LED all the things!

Mind posting links to the bulbs? I’m still running incandescents in the tails due to the LED’s I had SUCKED.

Lots of drinking Saturday night. Trail ride Sunday with a hangover:banghead: still had fun but the trail kicked my ass. Even hit **** that I shouldn’t have haha. But what a party :Big Laugh:

Sure. I used these: https://www.superbrightleds.com/mor...ion-28-smd-led-tower-wedge-retrofit-car/1646/

And I spoke too soon about not having issues. This evening when I jumped in the truck to head to work, I immediately got a "Left/Right rear turn signal out" fault. Which is irritating because after I changed the settings in AlfaOBD, I tried all combinations of having the brakes on/off, signals on/off, running lights on/off and hazards on/off to ensure that a bulb out fault would not occur. I thought I was good since no fault warnings happened during testing.

I'll have to verify in the morning that the changes I made in AlfaOBD took and look at the other options to see if I can make the truck happy with the LEDS.

I looked into these with my last truck because the wheels were so bad, but ended up selling the truck before I pulled the trigger. Seems like this is what most big rig truckers use because those huge retreads they run are so badly balanced. Thanks for posting the results.

Went on a road trip to pick up a Grand Cherokee for a friend.

Man I love this truck more everyday.

Extremely comfortable for 4 adults one child and our 28 cut Best way pizza. The large rectangular box fits right on the dash.

Hauling that Jeep was a nice simple task for the 392 Hemi. Avg 11.9 which was about 3 MPG better than my friend offered me gas money for, so I made out a bit.

Love that Hemi growl rolling up the 9% grades through southwestern PA.

So we got home at 0545 and here I am at work at 0700. Good times...didn't get no pics of the fun, but it went exactly as planned, every challenge you could think off, except the ride of an awesome tow pig.

They look good on the truck what about having them powder coated? They would look good black.

Was thinking about going with this drop and these polished 20" sport wheels with 275/55/20 tires. This is the look I want. Just Would need to sell the 22" ones first.

Moved a trailer for a friend. In a week when they are finished taking down their Christmas decorations I'll move it back to the storage lot.
