rubber band tires are gay no matter what. On a sports car sure but a truck, that is ridiculous. I can see if it was a 2wd slammed but lifted. C'mon man. I also have to say, those mega cab 1500's were pointless from the beginning. My uncle had one and got 11 mpg on good days and didn't even have the power to pull it's own weight. But throw a cummins in there than the thing is a beast.
Let's see you fit my PA system in a QC! As far as power, I have pulled the biggest trailer I'll need to (~4000lbs) through some pretty nuts mountain passes. No issues. I get closer to 15mpg when warm average for the tank. I just don't drive enough to justify the diesel I want.
I wouldn't call it a rock crawling machine either! And the stock 265/70/17's look almost as funny as the 28's. One is too big, the other is too small.
clean mega cab, but they got it setup all wrong! lower it on them wheels or slap on sum 20 or 22s with a A/T tire or M/T with that lift. id say it aleast a 6 inch may be 5. but looks like a clean truck, just wrong setup.. did u find out what brand or size lift?
What exactly would he need to do to upgragde them? There arent any real upgrades unless you are getting SRT10 brakes but with those you have to swap the whole rear end for the back or the spindles and all in the front. Thats not usually cost effective and most of the time cant only be used on a standard height truck. You dont use OEM spindles for a lift unless youre doing just a body lift.
I agree man. i dont like skinnys either. Thats why i have the tires I do on mine. Now granted not many guys do 24s and big tires. But I wanted bigger rims and need big tires because I still do use my truck to tow and haul. I ride hard and rough and skinny tires would only get my messed up rims. I love the mega and I love the lift, I love the rims but I agree bigger tires are needed. But I dont think they make big tires for anything over a 24.
personally i like it its a sick look.....and like said previosly its a matter of taste and likeness....its still lifted and its got big wheels ....but the style of wheel is what yall dont like but each to their own i guess....but i have to agree the bands look small.....
