    Tire Size Fitment and Lift

    Sorry for the late reply. Yes they fit just fine. Using SPC uca’s so the alignment wasn’t an issue. Very slight rub in reverse at full lock to the driver side

    Diamondback Rails?

    No problem man. My current set up is good but I’m not dialed in yet. The BedSlide does take up premium bed space in exchange for convenience
  13. 2BigTaco

    Diamondback Rails?

    I haven’t had any issues with the seal. Yes the bars will block the tonneau from opening. That’s why I got the BedSlide so I had access to the stuff in the back of the bed. I usually remove the 4 bolts that secure the crossbars to the uprights and remove the tent and bars together.

    Tire Size Fitment and Lift

    I was hesitant to buy my BFG KO2 with a 10ply because of the weight and price. After going through Mojave road and seeing 2 rigs puncture sidewalls I was convinced I made a good choice. Last two tanks on my 285s averaged 16-17 mpg so weight isn’t too much of an issue with easy driving.

    What's in your bed /controlling your cargo?

    I wanted to keep gear secure, dry, and somewhat clean so I have a Diamondback SE cover paired with a BedSlide 1000. This allows me to slide everything out and not have to crawl into the bed to get stuff way in the back.

    Tire Size Fitment and Lift

    I have a about a 2 inch lift.. I'm running the icon 2.5 up front but didn't crank them to get the max lift. with my prinsu there is plenty of room to fit under the garage opening (standard). I also run a Plano case and front runner awning on the prinsu mounts and still have about 3 inches to spare
