Do they pop out when fully flexed? My 2500 rear springs haven’t gone anywhere.... thuren springs though not sure if that makes a diff. I’ve had mine off the ground and they stayed put. But I do like that idea

Nope, i got them for the just in case back when i was testing 27.5" extended Rancho shocks with the Icon 1.5" springs. The Icon springs are long enough to hold them, the King shocks i have now are just 1/4" shorter than the Rancho i had before, i go 3 legs all the time too so they're just a small insurance.

I gotcha. I’ve hopped out and checked mine a few times when off the ground lol. Being a long wheel base it don’t take much to get her up in the air. I still might steal your idea

So far I have no negatives about these tires. I run them at 43 psi and forget that they are LT tires. Wet handling was my biggest concern and I have driven them hard on wet pavement with no traction issues. Put them in the mud briefly. No road noise and handle great. So far probably my favorite tires to date on any vehicle I have owned.

Very surprised by this feedback as they seem super mild in what pictures I can find. My biggest concern is road handling year round at this point but I also don't want a full highway tire. Plus this price point is too good to be true.

Traded in my 13 for a 17, really don't like the chrome and was definitely fancier than I was looking for but I couldn't pass up the deal I got on it. Also I did have them swap my wheels and tires over since I just bought them 2 months ago, I think they will look better on there after I get all the badges off.

The pictures do not do the treads justice.

Since the past 4 months have been super busy for I have neglected my truck. In between the snow, ice, rain and me traveling very little has been don’t since last year.
I have shelves of parts which I want to install, I started with my mud flaps, I have only owned them for 2 years. I had the OEM 20” with the Falken Wildpeaks taken off and my Summer RT 22” balanced and installed at the dealer while I waited for my oil change and 2 recalls to be taken care of.

Next time we have a few days with no pollen falling and rain a full interior detail and exterior wash.

On a side note the truck handles remarkably better with the 22” however the tire and wheel combination looks odd now since there is a big gap from the tire to the fender. I guess when I burn through these tires I’ll get a wider and slightly taller tire.
