I just bought a 25 with factory 3” lift but they put Yokohama geolanders 265-60 R 20’s. I have room for more tire and not sure what size to go with.

      @@MrPholding thats a good question. Being the go together in a half. I would transport them not round but in half. In which case they wouldnt be out in the wind but stacked on a trailer. So yes i would say you can transport them with windows in. If you didnt want to make them full round on the spot, that would take up alot more space on a trailer. They are pretty big. Where if you stack the halfs you could use like a lawn mower trailer to take 4 or 5 even 6. I guess as many as you want. But built they are like 7 feet around. So you could take 2 on a 14-16 foot trailer. And would need a 30 foot trailer or so to take 4. In which case id be worried about over stressing the front windows. But you could just tow them with the windows folded down. In which case you would just need to worry about strapping them down

      @greatlakespowerstrokefx4 6 дней назад

      @@ShelbyvsViper road noise is slightly more but not loud. A small hum. Our cabs are extremely well insulated. Im running 50 front 55 rear psi for towing. The rear is way too hard empty and it bounces a good bit over big bumps or pavement heaves which if you are from michigan, you know our roads are terrible. The rear can probably go down to 35-40 when the truck is empty and be find and ride much better. I would say its no worse than stock and it depends on the psi you are at and the load you are at. I wouldn’t say they ride better as the stock Bridgestones were very good tires in my opinion. Duratracs are much much louder. They get worse with age too. Great tire from 100 percent tread down to about 50 then as for as im concerned a terrible tire. I would say duratracs probably perform almost equally in mud i got into my muddy field when these tires were brand new and for an at they cleaned very very well. Duratracs are also great in winter but i think the at4’s are better in rain. Iv put probably 200k miles on duratracs. Iv had many sets. Very good tire for what it is but it has limitations. Its almost as loud as a true mud tire but its not as good in the mud as a mud tire by far. If the mud is sticky you are in trouble just like an all terrain

    I bought a new kubota 3902 in 2022 and had leaking valves in the front tires. I had to tighten the valve stems which cured the problem. I am not happy with my tractor, several reasons: doesn't have the lift power as my old 3000, the R-4 tires are useless in muddy conditions-I've had to use my bucket to help get out of muddy situations. My old 3000 rated at 30 hp had more guts than this 3902. Just after I bought the tractor, several things went wrong: hydraulic hose burst and covered me with oil, the parking brake didn't work and the loader barely picked up 500 lbs., then the dealer closed his shop near where I live and now I have to truck my tractor 50 miles away for any repairs. I will never buy another Kubota.

    The true cost of the Diesel option on my truck back in 2021 To estimate how much your $11,000 investment in the S&P 500 will grow in 5 and 10 years, we can use the historical average return of the index. The S&P 500 has historically averaged about a 7-10% annual return when adjusted for inflation, but we’ll use a few different scenarios. 5-Year Projection: 1. 7% annual return: Future Value = $11,000 * (1 + 0.07)^5 ≈ $15,418 2. 8% annual return: Future Value = $11,000 * (1 + 0.08)^5 ≈ $16,189 3. 10% annual return: Future Value = $11,000 * (1 + 0.10)^5 ≈ $17,715 10-Year Projection: 1. 7% annual return: Future Value = $11,000 * (1 + 0.07)^10 ≈ $21,631 2. 8% annual return: Future Value = $11,000 * (1 + 0.08)^10 ≈ $23,749 3. 10% annual return: Future Value = $11,000 * (1 + 0.10)^10 ≈ $28,531 These estimates assume you are reinvesting dividends and that the S&P continues to grow at historical rates. Keep in mind that actual returns can vary year to year due to market volatility. And that is not accounting for the more expensive repair and maintenance cost.

    I use a weight distribution hitch. By using a weight distribution hitch, you distribute the weight away from the rear axle and back onto the trailer and front axle. I tow an 8,300 lb trailer with 1,100 lb of tongue weight, and with the weight distribution hitch, my truck sits level, and I have excellent steering control.

    I have loaded a pallet of concrete on the bed of my 2021 F-250 with the 7.3 only 120 lb over the payload capacity and that is a big advantage over the diesel that reduces the payload by 600lb because of the extra weight of the engine. Love the Banks gage.

How far below the window sticker can I run my tires and do you have any recommended sources on learning g more about tire pressure on HD truck. Honestly there is not much out there.

      @@robbdog no problem. I do have a video on my method you should be able to find if you wanted to watch the video on my channel. For empty truck i figure on a truck weight of 7200 plus driver. So lets say for example sake 7400. I figure 60/40 weight bias. So 4400 front 3000 rear. Divide each by 2 thats 2200 for the front tires 1500 for each rear. Check your side wall but i think your stock tires are rated for 4080 lbs at 80psi. So front you take 2200/4080 thats 54 percent capacity utilization. So that times 80psi is 43 psi. So i would start at 50 and chalk test. I run 50 on my front just so when i add weight to my truck im still good so im slightly over pressure empty. 50 is a good place to start in my opinion. Rear is 1500/4080 which is 36 percent so 80* 36 percent (0.36) is 29.4. So empty you could for sure run that low. Alot of people do. Id start at 40 and chalk test and air down from there. I run 55 rear empty which is way too much but i randomly hook to trailers so im aired up for that. (I also have different tires than you do with about 200 lbs less load rating so keep that in mind) Now onto your slide in camper. I have no idea what model it is lets just say it weighs 2800 lbs. i would figure 60 percent rear weight 40 percent front. So thats 1680 added to the rear divided by 2 per tire so thats 840 extra per tire. So we figure 1500 + 840 so thats 2340 take that and divide by 4080 (tires max weight rating) thats 57 percent weight utilization times 80 psi so 45 psi for the rear. You could do 50 so you have a bit extra for dynamic loads of bouncing over bumps. Always chalk test After Front 1120 so 560 per tire. Plus the front tire prior weight which was 2200 thats 2760. Now divide by the weight rating 2760/4080 is 67 percent thats 54 psi. So maybe try 57? Chalk test from there. Now to be more exact weigh your truck at a cat scale with you in it then calculate from there. And better yet weigh with the camper in and take the axle weights and divide by 2. Then do your percentage of weight rating from there and times by the make psi which should be 80 psi
