Sway gets to be a problem for most people around 55-60mph. I’d tow that on 2 lane at 50mph with WDH and no helper springs (seen the bent frames here lately?) without worrying.

Interesting how damaged the lifter is. It should have thrown a misfire code first.

I woulda run the line over the front fenders curved to the headlights, but functional nonetheless.

Those are ‘21 sensors by the way!😃 I just put ‘23 Limited wheels on my ‘21 and all 4 will not read. Dealer wants all new sensors. I asked if he thought all 4 died at the same time at 2 yrs old with zero miles - uhhhhhh…

No. Expanding foam that is adhesive is the usual construction, so they don’t fall off for the life of the wheel. Check to be sure.

The inserts are, I believe, plastic, so not going to live thru powder coat. Check yours to be sure.

There is no issue in what tires you can mount on the wheel, but 35’s will need some additional clearance on the truck, whether lift or level, others may chime in, and it is discussed in the forum often. TUV okay with that?😁👍🏻

I am assuming the inserts are held on by an adhesive expanding foam, as most of the OEM wheels covers are. They would most likely be destroyed by trying to remove them. Mask and paint may be the only practical way.

Interesting thought brought to mind - you should get springbars rated just over your actual tongue weight, so you have some adjustment left in the chain tension. Never go lighter thinking “good enough.” I also tow tongue slightly down.

The rims do have resale value. I just bought those on the white truck pic for $1100 with the newish tires. They also made them OEM in black for Night (?) package trucks, so they could be out there or for trade.

I have a tradesman 18” set in MI that you could contact me about. There is also a bighorn 18” aluminum wheel out there too.

Remember tradesman, big horn and rebel come with 18”. Rebel even uses the same size you listed, and I have run that size also on a stock truck, albeit an ORP, but tons of room. Not sure where you think it might rub. As has been said, some rims may hit the caliper. Most reputable truck rim...

Oh boy, Im at probably 100miles. I can’t believe they are all dead.

Do I need a tool to get another set of takeoff tpms to read?

Yeah, I know, but I saw that nice single 3” tailpipe without resonator. ;) There isn’t a 2500 short box to use that. The only thing I found today was the turndown in front of the axle. I’d pick a muffler that sounds good and like the smooth single sound. Oh well, you are probably right, cheaper...
