Nice job, They look very clean. Any difference in ride or cabin sound? Great color too. (y)

This is stock ride height right?

Yes stock height tries in normal and was driving in aero on the freeway, believe ir or not i think it drives better with tje wider tires, feels more planted and no differnce in MPG or performance

Looks bad ***. Is the speedo off much? Does in only rub when the suspension is aired down?

Any updates OP on the rubbing aspect ?
the truck rides great, no rubbing under any normal driving, only a slight rub when fully rotating the wheel. If you raise it to even off-road 1 then all rubbing goes away. I think it was a great upgrade and it feels more sure footed and there is no tire noise when driving.

It drives perfect in normal and aero under normal driving conditions, only rubs when fully turning the wheel

Wow this is confusing me. Was going to go to 18" rims with 33" KO2 all year round and park my 22" Limited rims in the garage for future use.

^^^. Why are you confused ?

I live in Toronto. Was originally going to keep my 22" rims, buy some 20" or 18" rims for winter tire. Did some reading on KO2 and thinking I can keep all year and enjoy the truck up north.

Wondering if the grapplers can do all I want (I know 22" rims are not off roaders). Still thinking 18" with KO2

For me and this is solely about me, I strictly run winter tires during the winter. I’ve yet to have an all season tire that affords me the full advantage of having them. My Touring Accord has strictly summer tires since they decided to add 10 speed and a turbo, so I’ve ordered a set of wheels/ tires combined to swap them out. No point in me risking my life over money in MY situation only folks.

SMS Limited - Truck looks great. I'm about to make a deal on a Limited and looking to do something similar. I like the look of 22s but I don;t like the how small the combination looks with the stock 285/45/22. I don;t do any off-roading but finding a bigger tire is difficult without going to an all terrain, which I'm worried will compromise ride quality and noise. A couple follow-up - and probably redundant - question... you haven't seen any difference in ride/noise with those tires? Could the truck handle (clearance) 35/12.5/22s?

I'm interested if anyone has any suggestions for a 22 that would give a little more sidewall that the 33/12.5/22 but still offer the same ride quality.

yea rides great like stock, no additional sound and i think it actually rides smoother with these. i had a minimal rub when fully rotating the wheel for about the first few days now i don't hear it at all I mainly drive int he city and highways , I've gone 90mph with them and everything was great I got the tires for the look and everyone says it makes the truck look way better. I would recommend you get them if you are thinking about it.

Where is the rub point ? inner fender or suspension ?

I think it’s some plastic, it was a small flapping rubbing part. I only hear it when making a three point turn and really extending the wheel. Other than that it drives great.
