I will definitely do a long term report on these tires. I couldn't find hardly any information at all on them when researching tires. We'll see how they hold up.

Well, I ended up going a completely different route than I originally intended!
I purchased a set of 5 Toyota steel wheels, with 4 brand new Kenda Klever M/T tires in size 285/75R16, with a nearly matching used spare Maxxis Bighorn in size 255/85R16.
I didn't intend to get such a gnarly...
Thanks for the update! I too have a 95 2 door with the 6.5L diesel. I've got 264K miles and she's still running great!

On edit: I just now saw your reply over at GMC4x4.com!
Very nice!
I don't understand why more IFS lift kit manufacturers don't supply some sort of product like this with their kits. I never saw the point of lifting the suspension while leaving the torsion bars exposed and hanging down so low.

Most of the crossings stay around 30" or so. There may be one or two a bit deeper.
Here's one Central Overland just did last weekend:

Thanks! I've found the transmission vent tube, but need to dig around a bit more for the transfer case vent. I'm planning a "High Water Mark" trip with Central Overland in about two weeks, and I need to make sure all my vents are taken care of before we hit several water crossings.

Hmmmm.....
My Tahoe just pulled down her best MPG yet after an 800+ mile round trip to Memphis and back this past weekend: 18.67 MPG! And that's with an 18 year old vehicle with 264K on the clock! Ain't too shabby for a fully loaded full size 4x4 if you ask me.
Gotta love a turbodiesel in a...
Dude, I love the sidepipes! I've always loved the '70's looks.
Here's my old '81 C20 that I converted to 6.2L diesel, and at the time (late 90's) I ran side pipe exhaust that I got from JC Whitney.
Looked and sounded great, but the diesel exhaust sooted up the rear wheels really bad. I...
Quick question:
Does the 241 Transfer Case have an external vent? I've located and made plans for extending the vents for the front/rear diffs and tranny, but I can't seem to locate a breather on the TC.
Thanks,
Casey
Me too. I've got a leaking axle seal at the drum end, so I'm going to replace both axle seals, change the fluid, and extend the rear diff breather all at the same time.
Casey
Nice video!
I need to do this to my rig soon. I extended all the breathers on my Jeep, now I need to do my Tahoe. Especially since I'm planning a trip in April that will involve multiple water crossings!
Casey
As expensive as IFS lift kits are, I see absolutely no reason to spend the money and retain that system. You end up with nothing more than a higher vehicle.... you still have the exact same geometry and wheel travel. I would put the money towards an SAS for sure and end up with a more...
Another question:
Do you have to open the carrier to pop open the rear hatch? I was concerned with having to unlatch and swing the carrier around every time I wanted to open the rear hatch.
Thanks,
Casey
