Looking for a smoother riding tire

[blnewt]

I got these, work great but I got better nuts and some large rubber washers for them, the nuts that come w/ them are dinky. Only the 3 center markers are the ones I linked, the side fender markers are a different set. And no doesn't even resemble a Raptor (but wish it sounded like one, lol)
And FWIW the Ds will be fine from the current tire world you're living with. Of course a lot of this is relative, I'm used to firm leaf springs on CJs so my current E-rated set seems plush by comparison.
But seriously, the D-rated Toyos will be significantly more compliant and comfortable than your current Fs.

loll seriously?? The V6 Ecoboost is one of the worst sounding engines out there

Unless, you meant the first gen Raptors with the V8, then yes

OMG no! Agree 100% on those v6s, and why would they want to amplify that
Those V8s though, now that's a song I want to here. Should have been more clear on that lol.

Do you think you’d be able to link multiple of those amber lights together to get one in each grill space?

The outer grill slots have a backer behind them which limits the clearance. I also mounted them right at the bend in the grill because the horn takes up some space and I wanted to avoid anything that might require some drilling/grinding/removing of anything back there that might interfere. It may be a simple job to modify the space back there but I didn't consider doing any of that. This is with a 2dr. V6 so depending on your model you may have more room back there but not sure on that.

Great...I just purchased the Ridge Grapplers in 35x12.5x18 and did not know they were rated F. I actually bought the rims based on the tires because there are ZERO 17's available anywhere. So I found the 18's on Quadratec and snagged them and then bought Black Rhino's to go along with them. I really hope the ride isn't as rough as you are experiencing...

Let me know how you like them.

Maybe you can cancel the order, let them know you weren't aware of the load rating. Quadratec is a good vendor, especially when dealing w/ members from this site, worth a shot. If not, just air down to a safe psi and deal with it, at least they are a quality tire

Curious what you would suggest I look at for other mods…here’s what I have now:

2018 JLU Sahara
Body color hardtop
2” BDS lift with fox shocks
35” tires on black rhino wheels
Steel font bumper with built in light bar and warm winch
Re-geared front and back to help with power
Headliners inside

Maybe look at a soft top for summers here in the Midwest? What else?

Depends what you have in mind regarding off road action. If you plan on keeping it on the mild side I'd say you're set up just fine. If you plan to do some rock climbing/crawling might look into some skid plate protection and some rocker "rocksliders" or something similar. Also a steel rear bumper to go along w/ the front. High fenders are a good thing to consider if you want a bit more clearance when the going gets rough. If you don't have LED headlights you might want to consider upgrading there too.
