That would be great. Thanks!

I think your correct. We have the same problem as you, everyone else we talk to has worn out springs. If I have to I'll just take a guess as to where we would like it to hit level when loaded and go from there.

My friend has a 98 2500 with a 6.5td. He does a lot of towing with it and will be going to a one ton set of leafs in the rear. We plan on building a set of brackets for the overloads if we can't find a donor truck to get these bracket from. His question is 'what is the clearance between the...

Here is a few while from last summer.

BFG AT KO's E range. Looking like they'll be in the 50,000 or so miles. Great over all wear when keep rotated correctly, just wish they came in white letter like the D range.

Wow! A week and no suggestions, bummer. :sad2:

Thanks so much, I'm already up to speed on the regulations and have all of that taken care of at this point. I am just curious if there were any preventitive maintenance issues that I was missing. Thanks agian

Been without a job for a few weeks now. Friend of mine has been hauling cars with his truck and mentioned it to me as a possiblility for some short term employment. Here's my question; I know that I need to do a complete fluid change (ie: oil, cooling system, front and rear diff, transfer...

I have looked at those Long Trails on a 1ton Dodge the other day. They look very durable and would have a heavy shoulder on them. Might have to look into those a little more.

Agreed, tire guy says that E range is the heaviest avalible for the rim size. The heavier the better for otr. Anyone running Cooper, Douglas, stones? BFG Commercials? Just trying to solicitate as many experiances as possible. Thanks for all the input everyone.

Sounds good. Thanks

Is plain old automotive hose going to hold up ok or does this need some thing special? I see some have been using other types of hoses. Just curious.

I just found this the other day. Here's a few pics for those new to the LB7. Guess I should probably change the coolant and stats while I'm at it.

:iagree: on the LTX's, my Dad has ran three sets on his 95 Silverado and they do wear like iron. My BFG's have not lasted as long on my 03, as on my 95, but I didn't expect to be able to run out past 70,000 like on the half ton truck. I really try to take it easy on them as much as possible...

BigS brings up a good point with switching to a 19.5 and would be some thing that I would consider for the future. Right now cash is king and I'd have to make that a future project. The guy at the tire shop recomended the Michelin LTX's but if iirc they are imported from France but I would...

3qts of Mobil one 10w30 after a Merchant Automotive pump upgrade, around 53,000 miles. Currently around 81,800 miles

Don't know, I'm the second owner. The truck had Firestone Steeltex or at least the spare tire is. The truck had Yokahama Geolander A/T's when I bought it, which were fine and about used up when I bought the truck. Just trying to keep my dollars here in the US if possible and a tough tire...

I'm looking at possibly going into the commercial car moving biz with my truck. What I was wondering was what was a good choice for tires. My truck is currently running a BFG AT E Range tire 265/75/16 and stock rims. I love my BFG's but am willing to go to another brand as long as it's Made...

Thats a bummer.....hummm. Have to think about that one. Mine got kind of slow to change over as it got older now that I think about it.

How would you compare a goose neck to a fifthwheel. Would the 5'r be a better choice in a deckover due to it's higher center of gravity? Not trying to be smart, I was just wondering.
