Got the brakes bled and had the wheels and tires installed. Get the alignment tomorrow morning.
Bad things so far: I went to install the front driveline and found that the exhaust crossover is in the way. Transfer case drop would just make it worse. So now I have to get the TRUE dual exhaust before I can have 4x4. :mad: I was planning on doing this anyway, now just have to do it sooner. I can't go out and play with my new tires. Also I am getting some heat on the front hubs/rotors, nothing excessive, but more than I'd like to see. I'm not sure if the brakes are dragging causing the rotor to heat up then the hubs or if somethings wrong with the bearings or the preload causing the heat. Both sides are about the same temp. I'm going to get a laser thermometer to check it out.
Good: The tires (Toyo MT's) don't have any road noise, or at least what I would have expected. We'll se how they do offroad.
I took some pictures. The ones offroad had too high of grass so you couldn't see the wheels, thus that's why I'm posting the poser pic on the road. Now my truck sits as high as my wife's stock F-350 does :eek: I probably could have gone with 35's, but would have had to re-gear.
