New Toyo 34" tire w/ XD Revolver Wheels are on!

[GasCan]

Turned my K2500HD into a 1 ton w/ overloads last week and this week the truck received new wheels and tires to facilitate the heavy load I will place on the truck when my overweight camper goes back on the truck. These are the KMC XD Revolvers 17x9 wheels and the tires are TOYO 285/75/17 All Terrains.

I need to get used to the new look as the tread plate is narrower than my previous tire and it is an inch or so taller than the 32.5's. These will now handle 7200 lbs per axles as a tire and rim combo and one things for sure, they ride incredibly smooth as compared to the Dick Cepek FCII tires that were on previous to this. Less noise, less vibration, and the highest load capacity available in an all terrain tire at 3900lbs per. Wheels have a weight capacity of 3600lbs each.

Should work well now with almost 4K in payload when the campers loaded. Yeah I know, that's a whole other topic. Been there and done that. Here's a few pictures of my rig with the new wheels and tires on it. Kinda sinister looking now, what do you think?

I think it looks great, I recomend a good set of mud flaps or the winter road crush and gravel will chew up your paint.

That looks good, i have always loved blacked out trucks, now all you need to do is go to Recon Truck Lighting and buy there blacked out tail lights and Blacked out projection head lights

No light bars for this guy. Rear has a cover and a camper going on and off, and I like the clean look of the front end as it sits. Might powder coat the tubes on the sides now that the wheels are black.

id have to agree those tail lights and headlights would look pretty darn good.. did the same thing with my 04 ram. not to mention the added visibility of the tailights with the Leds vs the traditional bulbs... only thing like mentioned above get a nice set of mudflaps to protect that rocker panel or it will get worn,chipped and fade to a near white look lol i know from experience ... dont ask!

what lift do you have truck looks stellar. what do you think switching the springs cost you?

Rancho 4" lift. They say you can fit 35's with this kit and it's close. Had to do a little trimming with the 34's but I'd bet you could sneak a 35" in there. Rear (1 ton) lower spring along with the 6 pack of overloads was a couple grand. Had the camper loaded up for a return trip to Quartz and it pulled the camper and and the trailer with no trouble at all. I hit the scale on the way back and the truck weighed in at 5560 with the trailer on the pin. That's a pretty good load...hence the reason for the Toyo's.
