Tremor Build Finalized - Lift / Wheels / Tires

[thatdood]

After going back and forth, I’ve finally decided to move forward with lift, wheels, and tires…. My biggest decision was around 3.5 or the 5.5 Kit, and if I do all components. Also decided to upgrade wheels and tires too instead of using factory for awhile.

I’ll put the payment down next week with a local shop who will do the work

2024 Lariat Tremor Diesel Build

1. Carli 5.5 Backcountry Kit
2. Full Progressive Leafs and Shackles
3. Sway Bar
4 Upper/Lower Steering
5. Radius Arms (still debating)
6. Long Airbags (might do this down the road but probably will just do it now)
7. Method 707’s 18’s
8. Toyo R/T Trails 37x12.50x18

Will probably be a couple weeks between ordering parts, and install but will post pics when done

I have the 707s and I think they are my favorite wheel that I've owned so far. Falken RT 37x12.5r18 on a 2.5" OUO though

I went back and forth so many times on the 3.5 vs 5.5 (Tremor 1.5 vs 3.5)

Finally decided the 5.5 and paid for everything today. I hope it doesn’t end up too big for my liking…

Install date set for June 24th. Will report back and post pics

Out of town and can’t pick it up until Monday, but asked that they send me a few quick pics.

It was getting new wheels / tires and the alignment late today to finish up everything.

Just noticed limit straps don’t appear to be installed

Congrats! Same wheels here as well, I constantly get compliments on them. Truck looks great, but I am surprised you didn't go 38's or 40's with the 5.5 kit. Personally I'd choose the radius arms over the sway bars, I find them to worthless. I plan to add the rear shackles in the coming months to help smooth out the rear end a touch.

Yeah it was your build that I looked at when I made the decision on tire/wheel combo.

I went back and forth on 38’s. I’ll probably go 38’s on the next tire replacement

Yeah, I’ve got the full kit minus trophy hitch, so I can’t tell you how much the shackles help, but I figured they couldn’t hurt

my backcountry level parts are slowly trickling in. received the new radius arm drops yesterday. installed the brake lines 2 days ago. leafs, shackles, and pinion shims get installed on thursday.

i still need to order coils, shocks, and track bar. i'll then do radius arms. i think i am going to skip the torsion bar this time. honestly didn't really notice much difference on my last truck, and the tremor sway bar is supposedly a lighter weight bar to begin with

I'll be doing the hitch next.

I bought the same wheels. Lol. Have not put them on yet. Like to hear how the hitch goes for you once you get it on.

I'll be doing the hitch next.

The stupid price tag on that dumb hitch has been keeping me from moving up to 37s and I'm about to the point where I need to start considering my next tire set.

Currently sitting on 35s

Will do!

I've felt the same way but it's not making it any cheaper so I figure what the hell, it's just money. I like that it'll hold a 38 as well, I am getting the itch for 38's this next time around.
