Those tires make your truck look small.

NICE!

Reminds me of a hotwheels truck.

Reminds me of a hotwheels truck.

The pictures don't do it any justice. The wheel and tire combo makes the truck 6" wider than the 37's I was running. I'm going to weigh a wheel and tire tomorrow but I'm guessing they're 130lbs each. The 37's were under 100lbs each. So far I'm running 27/22 PSI and it feels good, 30 PSI was rock hard. I haven't balanced the tires but I'm not sure it's needed, they're pretty smooth. I put new TPMS sensors in the wheels and truck picked them up seamlessly.

What's the spec's on the rims?

I haven't run TPMS's in my tires for years. My light stays on.

I've always loved the bulldog stance of minimal lift and big tires.
Looking forward to the flex test pics.

Looks like shit. I vote put it back to stock.

It needs a giant American flag in the hitch

I don't have the rest of the bumper yet. The standard outers don't work with 40's.

You have a plan? Or is Don making you custom wings?

Don is making outers for 40's.

Correction, the 40's and TR Beadlocks are 142lbs each.

Bet your glad you did 5.13’s!

Looks badass! Looking forward to seeing it with the front bumper completed.

The factory bundles the front parking sensors (if you have them) with the foglights in the bumper harness. I removed the sensors and converted the truck to rear parking sensors only so there is no longer a need to keep the sensor harness intact. For some reason the connectors in the bumper are potted so I couldn't get them apart. I ended up disassembling the harness and removing the parking sensor wiring. They are separate but in the same harness. I then reassembled the fog light harness using braided harness sleeve and heat shrink. I'll probably redo the harness when the bumper is finished but it works in the meantime. I'm just reusing the temporary Chinesium lights I had in the OEM bumper. Here is what the inside of the harness looks like:

Can you add some details on how you disabled the front sensors?

AEV references it in their bumper installation instructions. You need to purchase the rear-only parking sensor module and replace yours. The module is at the base of the A-pillar under the door sill guard by the parking brake release. The module is found in almost every Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicle with rear parking sensors for the last six or eight years. They're like $100 new, I found one on Ebay for $40 used. The part # is 68204477AD.

and replacing that module disables it in the computer and the switch, etc?

Yes, you will no longer have front sensors and the button will not work. No codes.

Looking fantastic with the man tires! You notice much difference in drivability from the 37’s?
