Oh - well, hell if I know. I'm tire shopping right now. Looking at BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 and Goodyear Wrangler MT/R Kevlar. I called around some today and couldn't find any decent cheap tires, so I figure I might as well do it right the first time.

Decided against the treadwrights?

Haven't really decided against or for anything yet. Still trying to see what all is out there for me. Oddly enough 31x10.5R15 isn't a popular size anymore off road. If I went to a bigger tire/rim I would go good to go. I just don't want to trade tires for power. I know... just regear. But where is that money coming from???

KM2 and MT/R Kevlars are both awesome tires. They're the ones I'm trying to decide between. I believe KM2s have slightly better road manners though. But that's just from reading. No personal experience.

The road manners really don't worry me so much because it won't be a high street mileage truck. It will be lucky to get 5k road miles a year.

Yeah then honestly I'd think the Goodyears would be a better tire for a strictly offroad rig if you don't wanna get swampers.

If you're really not seeing any street time, go with swamper LTBs. Cheap and an absolute kick ass tire offroad. But if you wanna go bigger I'll make you a killer deal on some 33x12.50-16 maxxis bighorns.

Yup, tired to fit them a while back and it just wasn't going to happen without figuring out how to push the axle at least 1.5" forward.

I've always wondered if you could swap the driver and passenger side UCAs and LCAs

I was going to try it on the 4Runner, but it would have the opposite effect because of the way they're designed

Interesting idea, may have to try that one, but i think that may push the CV too far forward. Along with the tie rods, I don't think the steering rack would like it very much.

Thinking more on this it wont work, you would need to swap both UCA and LCA side for side and since the strut is mounted to the LCA it would put it at an angle vs vertical. and just swapping the UCAs would put you way into the negative caster, far more than could be adjusted.
