I don't anticipate any problems stuffing my future 255/85's and I'm sure your 235/85's would be fine.
What lift are you running?
Those are the same tires I'm looking at, except in 235/85 obviously. I'm running a TF 2" medium kit but it's more like 3" because it's lighter than stock from being gutted, but will gain back weight in the future.

New ball joints and an alignment. Finally no more loose steering. I'm going to retackle my stripped u joint nut. Can I rotate the front shaft with the gear selector in neutral?

You can push the whole truck backwards/forwards which will turn the shaft.

You guys of little faith. Those "rusted" mounts are what we used to pull me out of the mud last summer. Buried to the axles. Yanked so hard it tweaked my frame.
You guys who know nothing about rust crack me up.
Just board up your windows getting ready for Isaac Chris and I'll worry about the "rust".

Why not?
Is 10,000lbs not strong enough?

Every time I read you and FishEH's responses to the chicken littles of oxidation, I feel alot better about all the brownish-orange decor lining the underside of my truck.
