- In this video dusty installs 36.5 inch tires on his second generation Cummins diesel truck with a 2 1/2 inch lift and shows the Pros and Cons of the big tires. I apologize for the Wheel spec mistake in the video. The wheels are 18" x 9" 0 offset Raceline Gauge wheels wrapped in Falken Wildpeak AT3W 37 x 12.5 x 18....Tires inflated are 36.5" tall

I bought a used 2008 Cummins Mega Cab, previous owner was running 38s on 18-inch wheels. He had rebuilt the 68RFE transmission twice. First thing I did was go back to the stock tire size, on the stock 17-inch wheels. Better fuel economy, no rubbing, and lower trans temps. Hopefully problem solved.
Great information. Rebuilding my late father-in-laws 99 Laramie for my son. He remembers riding in it when he was in preschool. Now we are rebuilding for fun. Although he wants it to look cool with the big tires & wheels. Love your videos!
Awesome project. These trucks really are easy to work on and parts are not terribly expensive.
Thanks for the video I have a 5” lift and just ordered 37’s on my stock rims
Good stuff, keep up the second gen stuff 🤘
clean truck!
You needed slightly longer control arms or radius arms with the lift. It moves the wheels forward.
Nice lookin truck! Just picked a Black 1996 like yours and was debating on doing the exact same lift and tires, now I may go to a 6" lift with a long arm..... Hmmmm decisions, decisions...... With 4:10's it really needs bigger tires. Carli recommends 5.75 backspace to help with rubbing by tucking the tires in 3/4".....
No way in hell I’m grinding my truck for any tire..
I like the twister truck look 🤙
I get it. Did you notice they removed the head rests on the seats in Twister?
dusty! where are ya man? we need to see you on here!
What is your backspace of the wheels
barely could see it was indeed a 12v lol ... btw where did ya get the headlights?
37s were meant for thus truck.
I carry a 2 foot step ladder, I'm 62 years old, 6 foot 4 and still need small ladder on my 03 cummins
Dusty if front suspension went up 2 3/4 what did rear go up to stay even?
Hey thanks for this video. I just bought a 96 1500 4x4 short bed single cab. I been tossing around 33-40 inch tires.
The sad part is the price from a 33 vs a 37 and you're only gaining 2 more inches in height.
how r the cam bolts holding up with your aftermarket front control arms? r u gonna use blocks on the rear axle or try to get some tall leaf springs to put directly onto the rear axle ?
The cam bolts work just perfect with the control arms. No issue at all. I plan to replace the rear springs and factory block with a set of Carli Leaf springs. It is my understanding that the Carli springs will provide a big improvement in ride quality.
@@dustydiesel564 awesome! i also plan on a nice set of rear leafs with no blocks in the future, looking foward to that vid!
Where did you get those lug nuts
Amazon has then
Uh are you gonna do a block or springs in the rear to level it
I plan on doing the Carli Replacement rear springs at some point. It really is not far off level at the moment and doesn't look bad at all but the front rides so well it makes the stock rear springs feel worse than ever.
@@dustydiesel564 I highly recommend looking at Dodge Offroad’s shackle flip for the rear springs. Just did mine, made a very very noticeable difference in ride quality, gives the rear a small lift, and gets rid of those massive lift blocks which helps a ton with axle wrap.
@@JRL1987 Thanks. I had looked at those for awhile. Kinda forgot about them. That might be a good plan.
Not safe either and can't go off road....I think my lift is same but old school rancho..run 33s on 16s....no issues why rubngo just uses more gas
2 and 3/4??...shit I got 8 inch lift and still rub inside front
with a ram2500 or 3500 , 8 lug rim, dana 60axle?
Need adjustable control arms. They push your tires away from the fender. I put a 6” lift with 35’s rubbed bad. Old guy told me needs longer control arms to push front axle away
how many miles on her , damm she is rust free , my lower shock bolts would require a torch if I was to try and remove them , the flag even disappeared
