Another thing about the $1400. It's not just a lift. It's high clearance arms and forward arched arms. That helps a little more but it still hurts.
Don't know if you answered this already, but where did the snorkel scoop come from?
How exactly did you make those rear axle front of bed mudflaps under the bed. not the ones on the side. You will find out that with the trail armour skids that if that is not installed pounds and pounds of mud will sit there till you scoop it out!!!!
This tire fit with out rubbing and I have NO lift. Who says 30's won't fit stock?
Ok, no rubbing while sitting still and no driver in the front seat. This pic is showing the wheel turned all the way.
Factory tires are not 27" they are 25.5".
But put true 30" tires on and try hitting a bump at 40 mph and tell me what happens after you change pants. or give it a hard left turn full lock and hit a bump, you might get to inspect your skid plates again without the aid of a lift. I will tell you true 30" tires will not fit with or without a lift and be drivable over 5 mph.
Buddy, you just gotta be like women shoe shopping. F' it I'll take'm both!Now what to do! I've got two sets of awesome tires in the shop. Which one do I choose??
The Evos are ~10 pounds lighter and 1" shorter.
The Roctanes are 1" taller but that comes at a cost of 10lbs
The round profile of the Evos help it track straight and ride smooth but the Roctanes flat profile has a larger contact patch.
Both have rim guards, both are 8 ply and feel like they have the same sidewall stiffness. (Tested scientifically by pressing thumb into it). Both measure a true 10" wide.
Please help me decide.
I got a set of them 28 x 10 Roctane XD on the way from RMATV, they took my 30.5" Roctanes back, little did I know the would be 5" taller that the 25.5" actual 27" stamped OEM tires. Never will I trust a molded sidewall again after that one being 1.5" smaller that printed.
I think it would decide on the mud/Hard pack factor. More mud evo's...more hard pack Roctanes.
