heading out tomorrow in some uncharted territory (for me at least). Going to be the first time since the swap that I will REALLY be testing all the limits of the truck. Going to a local offroad park


So I am running 32x11.5r15s on 15x8 (BFG all terrains). I have a way of airing up the tires after words, but whats a good PSI to drop them down to for better traction? I'm currently running stock @ 35 psi

What will the territory consist of? Rocks... mud..etc?

 

combo of alot of things

 

W/o Beadlocks I like about 15-20

 

10-15. I would probably stay closer to 15 to help protect the wheels, but you could probably go even lower.

 

Also be sure to disconnect the sway bars, it is a HUGE difference.

 

i should be ok just unhooking one each right? I should hit up work on my way in

 

Just ditch those all together! lol.

I'd say start out at 20. That's my usual starting place...then I eventually end up at 10. lol.

 

I dont have time to completely remove them


also, technically, since I had them stock, I NEED them for Maine State inspections.


Good thing I'm signed up for MSI class, so I can learn all the loop holes

 

Msi class? I'd say 20psi sounds like a good starting point

 

Maine State Inspections


Im signed up thru work to get my sticker license

 

Yes Scott, you can remove one endlink front and one endlink rear with no problems, I did it all the time.
You will get much better traction letting the suspension do it's thing without the sway bars.

 

Ask the 'locals' what they run. (you know, the guys that frequent the park)

or

If it were me I would run 12.

 

i always run 12-14

 

I'd say 15. It'd be safe.

 

I run 15-20. You can always go lower if you need to, but keep in mind the lower you go, the higher the chance that you're gonna unseat the bead of a tire.

Remove the lower bolt on one of the rear sway-bar links. It can make a HUGE difference! It'll load your wheels more evenly in the rear, which will increase traction. Plus it will help prevent you from lifting a wheel off the ground when things get flexed. I've never removed a front link (you can't just remove a bolt in the front), but I'd think that it would help you out even more.

 

12 is about the lowest i go.

I've had the backs at 5 for ****s and giggles but i was extremely careful.

 

I run 10-15 in my LTBs, but I don't go lower than 20 on my BFG A/Ts.

 

i run 5-8 but i would think 12 would be perfect for you
