Anything 31" and up you need a lift, period. With a 32" on a 2" lift you don't HAVE to trim, but the first speed bump you go over will crunch your rear fenders.

 

Thanks for the input, so let's just say I go 235/85/16 like most say for a 2" lift a camel cut and 2" HD lift won't suffice? I ask because the two most recommended tires in debate that are good for performance and looks without killing your turning radius are 245/75/16 and 235/85/16.

 

You might get by without a camel cut on the 235/85s cause they are narrower, 245/75s only hit the very rear corner of the fenders. It's a matter of width not height. Search for my camel cut thread I have very clear pics of where it hits

Nice, what about this?
Trimming for tires

 

What about 33"s and 35"-37"??

 

If somebody can tell me I'll post it on here haha I just copied and pasted from another website haha

 

This is your thread buddy do some research. A ton of the guys on dweb are running 33"-37" tires... Just search dont start any threads like this unless you want to get roasted.

 

Ill searcg im just saying I just copied this because I didn't think we had one on our forums, it's just a quick reference to what tires fit with what.
