@@OronasGarage oh man your preaching to the quire, my 6.0 is a dogggg with 37s I’d be lucky to spin them on a wet road. But I’m not a hp junkie I love my 6.0 even with 37s but would LOVE to do gears one day $$$ Man it’s so hard to build the habit of getting tires rotated (for me) but I know it helps tread life like crazy
@@ARdave311 you definitely take the cake then lol. Some 4.88s would be great for your truck! I want to do 4.56 gears but as you know.. it ain’t cheap. On your next set do the rotations! See if it helps prolong the life!
Wish I could help you out with the tire information. Even though trying something else is appealing, at approximately $2000 for a set I might just buy the same. You got the looks and they're proven. I found your channel because I have an 01 8.1 2500 and I was looking for exhaust stuff. Subscribed because of that wheel tire combo and those shocks. Speaking of which, is the offset a -12? What part or model number are those kings? Your truck is just clean and I love it.
Tires are definitely expensive, and that’s why I’m curious as to what’s worked for other people. You’re absolutely right, these Toyos have been tried and true so that’s why I’m leaning towards that. I’m glad you found the channel and thank you for the support! Did you see the video I have with my buddies 8.1 2500? Only change was a Black Widow Venom 250. Here’s the link for where I got my shocks from. accutuneoffroad.com/product/king-shocks-silverado-sierra-2500-3500-hd-00-10-rear-2-5-dia-piggyback-res-shock-w-adjuster/ accutuneoffroad.com/product/king-shocks-silverado-sierra-2500-3500-hd-00-10-front-2-5-dia-remote-res-shock-w-adjuster/ My wheels are 17x8.5 with a 0” offset and 4.75” back spacing. Again, thank you for the support!
I used to sell service at a dealer, and our biggest seller was the KO2's. people put TONs of miles on them, theyre not crazy aggressive but a good tire.
also i recently found the channel and you have my favorite 2500hd on the internet. ive got a 02 gmc 2500hd that I'm slowly building up and youre truck will be my inspiration going forward
There have been a few people that have told me about the KO2’s. I remember almost getting those a few years ago with a suburban I had because they had great reviews and I knew a few people that had them as well. Definitely a tire that I’ll be considering! Thanks for the input!
@@SuperRomano3I’m glad you found the channel! When I was a kid this body style was the new hot thing and I think I got stuck in this era. Good luck on your build! If there’s any questions about anything or anything you wanna see just let me know and if I can help, I definitely will!
@@OronasGarage I think I've seen the answer but, howd you fit 35's without a lift? you look so much taller and i already rub and have problems with the UCA's hitting on maxxed out keys
@@SuperRomano3 it might just be because my trucks is an HD? I have the factory keys and they’re maxed out and I trimmed my front bumper and also did what people call the “Nor Cal Mod”. Other than that my suspension is all stock or replacement parts that are own equivalent
Mic sounds great! Talked to a guy getting his tires rotated at Discount Tires the other day. He told me he has tried them all. He loves the Micky Thompson Baja AT and MT. Runs them on his and wife's truck.He said you can get them through Discount Tire. About same price as anywhere. I like putting tires on my Discount tire card and pay them out interest free. I am looking at the Micky Thomson and Nitto Ridge grabblers. You got me thinking about the Toyo's now 65K is impressive for that MT..
Thanks! I didn’t even think about those! I was thinking about BFG KM3’s but they’re pricy. One thing I would say I didn’t like about the MT is that in doesn’t do so great in the rain. I’ve had the AT2 before and I loved that tire. I know a few people with the Ridge Grapplers and they seem to like them but they said that in the rain that the tires don’t do so great either. One thing that has helped these tires last is that I try to stay on top of the tire rotation and the tire pressures. I usually run my fronts around 42-45psj and the rears are at 48-52 psi. If I tow, then I air up depending on how heavy the load, but to be fair, I haven’t towed in about a year and a half.
@@OronasGarage These AT are the ones I am looking at.Agree on the MT and rain. I pull a boat and want a good rain tire. This guy explains them good. ua-cam.com/video/fRYXoeIUi6k/v-deo.html
@@nathancoronado8408 no problem! I purchased mine from Accutune because they do custom shock valving/tuning for free when you purchase the shocks from them. So if you have a winch, or steel bumpers or roof rack etc they can change the valving to compensate for the additional weight. The valving can also be specific to the type of driving you’ll be doing on/off road.
I have King 2.5 shocks with reservoir and adjusters front and rear with a CST uni ball upper control arms. Camburg HD tie rods and moog “problem solver” lower control arm assemblies.

Thank you kind sir. I hope you and the S&S crew are doing well.
65k miles on them!?? That’s incredible
And counting! But still roughly at 65k.
@@OronasGarage man I will absolutely get those next, especially if my mud grapps only get 35-40 like others have said 😩
@@ARdave311 I think what has helped is the tire rotations, and I never do burnouts.. because I don’t have enough torque 😂

Why not get the mazzulla plate rear bumper?
I’ve thought about it but the only reason I hadn’t was because I like having the step on the rear bumper to get in/out of the bed.

How much lift are you running in addition to the factory 2" body lift the HD's got?
There’s no additional lift, it’s the factory keys/set up. Only change is the king replacement shocks.
What offset are the Methods?
They are 17x8.5 0” offset with 4.75” backspacing
What suspension set up are you running
I have King 2.5 shocks with reservoir and adjusters front and rear with a CST uni ball upper control arms. Camburg HD tie rods and moog “problem solver” lower control arm assemblies.
@@OronasGarage awesome thanks man
For 60 miles those things still look like they could get 10k more miles
The treadwear on them is definitely still nice. It’s just the cracks between the lugs that make me nervous lol
