Lift and tire question
#12
For the OP:
This is my thread showing before/after of new lift and tires.

This is a 2" suspension lift and 31x10.5x15 tires (almost the same as 265-75-16)

thats what i went with... and i think it looks beefy enough.
small camel cut behind the rears and it doesnt rub anywhere now.

We could probably debate this all day to no avail. The OP will have to decide what his definition of "beefy" is and what he thinks looks best.
Anything 265 and wider will most definitely rub on the radius arms at full lock. The will mean reduced turn radius if the steering stops are adjusted. Since the OP mentioned this is his wife's car I would definitely think twice about a wider tire/limiting turning radius. If she's used to the truck turning tightly and all of a sudden it doesn't.......... Well, I can just see problems in parking lots.

I dont have alot of driving time to confirm for sure, but I havent noticed any radius rubbing on mine.
I have aftermarket rims with a different backspacing than stock though, so that could be what prevents it.

a better front end shot.
no purposeful misinformation was intended on my part...
i like the skinny tire "look". i dont want it looking like a mud boggin' suburban.
as far as noise, wear, etc ive been really happy with the BFGs. the truck previously had a smaller set on it, and they wore great, i suspect these will last plenty long.
