Thinking of Wheels

Thinking of 24'' wheels for the spring but have a couple of questions...

1) Would the truck have trouble (too much strain) to drive 1000 miles roundtrip probably 3 times a year

2) Are upgraded brakes/suspension needed

Thanks

If you use wheels with the same offset as the original and tires with the same diameter there won't be any additional strain, but because of the low profile tires required the ride will be harsh and you will be at high risk of damage to the wheels/tires on rough roads.

Anytime you put heavier rims / tires on this truck it will strain it more. That strain will manifest in your gas mileage.

It's hard to say if any damage will be done but you can count on your wallet taking more of a beating. Many people run large rims and tires here so hopefully others will join in. I run 20"s in the summer and the stock 18's with heavy Duratracs in the winter. Mileage for me is 13 summer setup, 10 winter setup.

Oh and the ride will be brutal with 24s.

Not sure you would strain anything. But a harsh ride will be for sure and maybe a bit more rotating mass may make your brakes feel a bit weak. You can always fill up that gap with some BIG brakes!
