I find the stock tires to be too........small, wimpy, and I'd like to put larger tires on. Which tires do you suggest? I'm thinking 33's. I'll use the truck mainily for off-roading, but, I have to get there, and that usually entails of about 3 hours of highway driving. Eventually, the idea is to lift the truck by about 2 inches. So, my question is, do you recommend converting to larger tires, 33's, and if so, do any of you recommend a specific brand? And, I know there's a couple brands out there (OME) that have 2" lifts, but, have any of you tried them, and what is your opinion? How much does it affect torque, driving around the city, rain and whatnot? Long term plans, include making a winch bumper and to also make a roof rack, although it is a soft-top. I really like Razon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c6wYRLTeIo) idea of a roof rack, so I can put on a rooftop tent. The first thing I'm buying, is a on-board air system from Puma. Any other suggestions, ideas? Thanks  P.s. It's a 1990 W461 250GD Edited by kriswaatch 6/5/2018 5:31 PM | |
