... Gimme that which I desire!!!
New Tires/Wheels and a mid perch!
Fuel Octane 18x9's +1mm offsets
Toyo Open Country M/T 315/70R18's (35.7" tires)
A bit of a fiasco trying to get the dealership to do the mid perch. Asked them to do it when they put the new tires on and then do an alignment. "No Problem". Come back to pick up the truck. "They look good, but they rub a little when you turn tight." Hmmm... looks like you didn't do the mid perch adjustment. Guess that's why the tire swap and oil change only cost me $75. "Oh yeah... I forgot about the shocks."
I proceed to walk them through what they are going to need to do to adjust to mid perch. "We're going to have to take the shocks off to do that and then do an alignment."
Sucks you gotta do the alignment twice. "Oh, we didn't do an alignment. didn't know you wanted one."
Anyway, fast forward to today when I go back to pick it up for the second time... mid perch complete, yet the tire's still want to rub on tight turns, though only on the rubber mud flaps I have installed. With out the flaps they JUST clear, Soooooo... probably gonna start looking at some Boatec fenders.
damn... hahaha.
In the end, they look great and the mid-perch + alignment ran me less than $300! Can't beat that! Probably didn't hurt that my Raptor is the only one they've ever sold...
