Mine are wearing 275 70s with no issue, and had 285 75s before with no rub. 315s I think will still be good, but I have offset control arms just in case.
I think any AT will work. MTs have bigger shoulder lugs that might cause issues.
I think you’ll be fine man, up to 35s at least.
I have the stock chrome steel 18” rims off a 2018 on my 2003. They fit and work just fine.
If there’s an offset difference from the 17s, I can’t tell by looking.
03 -04.5 is 4” turbo outlet, elbow necks down to 3.5, stays 3.5 to muffler outlet, and tailpipe opens back up to 4” just after the flange from the muffler.
weird design.
Had no issues with these, they are well made and come with the hardware to bolt them to the shock tower. Drove on them for over 80k miles.

Installed for only a few months. Thought the bushings went bad so replaced them with metalcloak, but when I pulled them they looked fine. Turns out my issue was a ball joint.
I installed some better zerks.

These have 255k on them, but no sag or any other issues.
Great if you want to return your truck to stock, or if yours are beat and you don’t want to pay full price for new springs.
I installed thurens and don’t need these laying around.

Unless there’s play somewhere that changes geometry. I originally had it aligned to thuren specs by a an old optical alignment guy. Had no issues with it for a while until this last debaucle. Wish I would have measured before I changed the control arms and springs, but whatever.
I do tape...
Well after 450+ miles, the death wobble seems cured. Still not sure if the ball joints helped, or if I just nailed the alignment, but it for sure rides much better than it ever used to.
After hitting a large pot hole, there still seems to be some DW like vibration that tapers off real quickly...
It took me years to justify buying a cordless impact. Kobalt had a sale on theirs two years ago for like $100 or so. Honestly don’t know how I ever lived without it. The battery lasts forever and it’s way more effective than my ingersoll pneumatic. It stays in my truck and I even used it today...
Oh man thanks for clearing that up!!
Yeah there’s a few parts during this journey that I would have preferred a different brand. My original Y style set had 250k+ on it, and was definitely worn out, but still impressive that it lasted that long before developing problems. Unfortunately only...
Hey so I put in the new ball joints. Old ones seemed fine, but it’s worth a shot anyway.
Ran into something weird, can someone confirm something for me?
The t steering upgrade is the moot kit. The passenger side tie rod end stud moves left and right, but not forward and backward. It spins like...
