What's the biggest tire size without trimming?

 

close to 33" I hope..that's my plan

 

pretty sure thats about right. i was looking through 3" kits and found this. it says the black dII at the bottom is on 33's

those look more like 32-32.5" to me but I guess they could be 33s

btw, those are HD springs..great in the front if you're going to have a winch but they're going to be stiff in the back. I think most people run medium springs in the back.

 

my arb is heavy as hell. it sags the stock springs. i used to build and drive mini trucks then went to the jeep world after that. bad ride quality doesnt matter to me that much

 

Those are Eric's and they are actually 32.6, but who is counting...

From what I have read/heard the 3in RTE kit is closer to 4in with the HD srpings, over your sagging stock springs of course. You will easily get a true 33in under there probably 34in or close. I would worry about width tho, too wide and you are really going to regret it, unless this truck is just for show. You say in your signature you want to go 305? I would think that 285 would be as wide as you want to go. That's just my opinion but that is as wide as I have seen outside the 5in+ lifts in Iceland.

You could go 275/65/18 if you stay with the 18's, I think there is a 275/70/18 option out there as well.


Whatever you do please post some pictures for us, huh?

 

How about some information from you to help us answer your questions?
Why do you want a 3" lift, what will you be using the truck for, especially since you don't have a CDL and are running on weak spider gears? For a big tires, especially if you'll be wheeling alot, you'll need to install a CDL so you can install new lockers with stronger gears,
That particular lift is good with one exception, the rear 763 springs will beat you to death. Consider using 762 rear coils and replace the spring perch with ones from a D1, this will give you the same height and a better ride, by the way, that is what I run.
As for the tires, if you are going wheeling, trade those 18" wheels for a set of 16's and then look at a set of 285/75/16's for much more strength, better side walls and a great 33" look.

 

thanks for the input guys. i will probably change my mind 387534597834 times before i buy anything lift and tire wise. this is my DD so i wont be wheeling it hard. bash me if you want but i'm mainly going for looks here because its the only thing i have to drive. eventually i'll make it bulletproof when i get something else to drive daily. im still researching support mods for the tires and lift also

 

I've got a set of 16" rims I'll sell you if Sloppy doesn't want them. I still have to get them weighed so I can figure out shipping.
