they are nice but I love the advertisement for how easy it is to get a socket replacement..... I’d put those on for the look, not the security

I'm not doing it for the security, the oem ones I have are already marked from swelling with bad coatings so looking to just get some nice black ones that will stay the same socket size the whole time I own them. I change my tires and do my oil and what not so they will go on and off a bit I as change stuff.

I figured that’s what you meant, I’m also in the same place as you. Let me know what you go for and how you like them. I haven’t had my tires off myself yet, 2 times at the dealer and no issues, they probably use a coated socket, which I have ($19 on scamazon.ca)

Ya u got a nail in my tire 500 miles into ownership, and I've coated somethings and lifted my truck with a temporary spacer lift till i can lick the coilovers I want.. so wheels have been off a few times haha.

Lol I flip flop on levelling mine. Some days I hate the nose rake and other days I don’t. Some days I want it to look aggressive, other days I worry if I don’t change other parts out with the spaces the ball joints or something will wear faster if I just level it.

Ya I mean everything has its pros and cons I'm moving to fairbanks and looking to try out some pretty rough trails so I'll need a few things before I can do them all part of the game.

And as far as lift even doing beach stuff a lift and tires would make stuff 5x easier. But thats beach specific not touching the diffs and better tires.

I’m in Canada, so off-road / snow is a given, not a lot of off road by me tho... I have gone a few places and so far stock has been fine. I am looking to rip into some sand dunes this summer and I may have to get some bigger tires... I also know the limits of what I have and don’t push it. But once I get into the backwoods game I will for sure have to rethink my setup.
