New wheels and tires

[Velocity]

I put a set of 22x10 Axe Off-road Chronus with 305/45/22 Venom Power RT+ tires. Tires are right around 32 7/8” tall. Wheels have -19 offset. They stick out about an inch past the fender flare. Ride is a bit harsher than with the factory setup but I expected it to be. They are louder than I thought they’d be for sure. As of right now I have the stock ORG suspension on the truck. I have Rough Country 2” loaded leveling struts coming in to hopefully make it sit level. With the stock suspension the driver side tire barely rubs on the small “mud flap” looking part on the backside of the fender well. I could trim it now and there would be no rubbing but I’m hoping the leveling struts will get me high enough to clear it.

Got the Rough Country Loaded Struts installed. Was an easy swap out. Lifted the truck 2” in the front so it sits perfectly level now according to measurements.

I get compliments all the time. People love how aggressive they look. They definitely hum pretty good so that’s the trade off I guess. I have about 2500 miles on them so far, they’ve been good so far.

Did you see an improved ride difference in the RC struts? I'm getting my installed on my 2020 Laramie tomorrow.

Didn’t really notice a change in the ride. I don’t take my truck off road though so I can’t say how the handling is or was before in that aspect. Also, since that post my truck settled and it sits about 3/4” lower in the front than the back. So the struts lifted the truck roughly 1 1/4” in the front.

I have also changed tires since that post. The humming from the Venom Power tires was really annoying after long rides. I switched the tires to Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Ride quality and noise was a night and day difference. I truly didn’t realize how bad the Venom Power tires rode until I put the Ridge Grapplers on.
