Yeah I'm actually only looking to go to a 32.5 or 33" tire for my rig. I'm hoping that I might be able to get away with a 265/70/18 without increasing my lift. I'm planning to regear once I go to that size and add lockers so this change won't be for quite some time. Ideally, I'd like a 265 width 33 in 16" in but I don't see many options in that range without going to a crazy wide tire (imo). I'm really liking the skinny tire setup on 16x7 that @donniefitz2 is running so I may actually end up going that route even though that would be same size tire I'm running currently.

235/85-16 on the Honda rims. Tires are 31.75". Truck has a TF 2" lift. Setup is working very well, no real power or mpg drop that I can notice.

I have the OME 2 Inch lift with HD springs, 32's, CDL and rear locker combo. There hasn't been anything I've encountered that I couldn't do. Love the ride height and look of the vehicle. I have noticed the vehicle is slightly slower but I have the 3.9L in it.

Lucky8 recommends the Terrafirma radius arms even for a 2 inch lift. I'm guessing most people don't find this necessary then.

dswilly, that's a great looking disco! I'm currently sitting on 225/75/16 with stock suspension and yours is the look that I'm going for.

The consensus I've seen on here is that most don't run radius arms for 2 inch lifts. I see more recommendations for it at 3 inch or more though. YMMV but I find that even with 2 inch, radius arms are necessary if you do a lot of long highway drives because the front wanders a bit on the highway. I've dialed in a 0.05 degrees of toe in up front to help counteract that a bit but I'd still recommend it. TF radius arms are the next thing on my list to do to my D2.

I'd buy adrenalin arms or RTE before I bought TF

The front of my truck is lifted 2-1/8" higher than stock. With the TF control arms installed I have exactly 3 degrees castor. That would mean that at this height and with no castor correction arms, my castor would be 0.

Keep in mind that when you add castor correction arms, you rotate the pinion angle down on your axle and that will strain your front driveshaft single u-joint and probably cause vibrations.

The TF arms are really wide compared to the factory arms and so your tires are more likely to rub when the wheel is turned to hard lock.

The TF arms are also so big that they become low points for your truck. I hit them with rocks all the time, but they are strong.

I would consider the RTE modified arms for better clearance.
