is the cost of changing my gears reasonable.or is it cheaper to step down in tires ize.because 285/70/17 still look great.and im only lifting my truck 3".

 

STRONGLY considering ordering a set of these now. My dad owns a trucking company and always has retreads on his trucks and/or trailers somewhere. He's never had a problem with them coming apart. He also has retreads on an old chev plow truck that work great, although it nevers sees main road use..... Just can't pass up the deal, and the retreads are prolly safer than what I have on there now lol..... Not worn out, but I bought em used from a buddy and they aren't very round haha....

 

cheaper to step down...its usually like 600 to 700 an axle with labor to regear..

 

the labor is free if you do it yourself.

 

I will be ordering a set of these tires as soon as i get the cash=) Doing a leveling kit here right after xmas.

you gonna do an add a leaf or taller blocks to make it a lift instead of just a leveling kit?

 

Add leaf=)

Most people don't have the knowhow to re-gear themselves.

 

Sooo Sheriff, you bought these treadwrights didn't you? Do you like them so far? How are they wearing?

 

they still have the nipples but i've only put a couple thousand miles on them. to the touch, they feel softer than my old bfg all terrains.
they're good in rain and a little noisy, but if you have the radio at about talking volume then it'll drown out the road noise.
the guy that balanced them told me that they took a lot of weight to balance (6oz on the tire that took the most) and didn't roadforce well. i think i need to get one of them balanced again because of a 45mph occasional (slight) bounce but i don't know, it might be air pressure combined with crap roads since it doesn't bounce every time i hit 45mph.
