So far I can definitely tell they are way heavier. Stopping takes more effort. I suspect brake dusted rims every week or two. And the tires really bogged down the SC 91 tune. Of course, I think it sucks for street driving anyways. Could be just the H.O tune don't know yet, workin that out with SC. Anyways, I put it back to stock today and the TMS seems to have taken that heavy feel away. Still to early to tell with MPG. So far its range from 11-14 but expect it to level out better stock.

Measured today, I think b/c my tires were so near bald that I gained 2". Also, I'm not sure if its the alignment but it steers too easy...at least compared to before.

 

the steering feels light? Maybe you were used to the caster being way off, since the front no longer had the rake, and you never got an alignment.

BTW, what size tire did you used to have?

 

had 265/65r17.

 

ugh...where's the retarded delete for double posts

 

Hey Studly, looking great man. Amazing what a dif just tires make in appearance. Looks good with the stock wheels, too!

 

Thanks, I'd like to go after the body lift this christmas or jan. Seems like a lot of work to do by yourself tho. And I'm still pondering how it affects the CAI and maybe some of the wiring I routed for the efan, fog lights, and additional fuse box I added...

 

It shouldn't be to bad, unless all of your wiring is super tight to begin with. The CAI is not a big deal. Here is a couple of pics I took when I opened up the fender inlet a bit.
