    needed new shoes... so I bought a package

    That looks good! It'll be an option for me. a lift kit is not in the budget right now and I do a lot of wheeling on back roads so rubbing is an issue especially when I have the wheels truned. So the 285's may take a back burner for a bit. I was afraid the 8.5" wide rim on a 265 would look...

    16" vs. 17" wheels

    There is a big difference an extra inch of wheel makes on a number of factors. I have had the entire gambit of wheels from 12" to 19" on cars and trucks. Now I just dont get larger wheels just to impress people on the street. my larger diameter wheel is for a sole purpose-- peformance, whether...

    Stupid BFG KM2's!

    stocker 265 uniroyls that were on the truck when I got it. Tires are only 2 years old and have about 60% tread remaining. So I figured they were still good and run em till they are bald and then buy new rubber next year. No such luck! I figure the previous owner probably ran it with low tire...

    Dealer said Wheel Hub Assemblies

    Check to make sure the brake caliper sliders are clean and greased. This is often over looked and causes the brakes to pull to one side, brake pads wear funny, and squeaks at lower speeds. As mentioned earlier check the backing plate, some schlep that was careless in removing the tire/wheel may...

    How do I adjust front torsion bars on a 1995 K2500 diesel?

    It's not that hard. 1st take a measurement from the center of the front hub to the lower edge of the fender well (above the tire). this will give you a baseline measurement. 2. Jack up the truck at the frame rails taking the weight off the front tires and suspension. 3. Under the truck...

    Yup, I think we need to take the bear off the flagg and replace it with an Ostrich with it's head burried in the sand!!! Tax Tax Tax and not look and the reasons for the Hemoraging of our finances. Lucky me- the state cancels the PTI plates for toyhauler trailers right when I buy mine. $650...
