Default 255/70/18 on my LR3

I got some used 18" wheels and new old stock Bridgestone A/T's 255/70/18 tires this this weekend and got them on my LR3 the other night. According to the Bridgestone website they are 32.1" tall. They look really good and I think this is how the trucks should have been spec'ed from the factory. Right now I only have the front links shortened about 8mm so the truck sits level. There is some slight rubbing in reverse at full lock that I hope to fix with a little trimming to minimize how much lift I have to run on the street. With my GAP tool I was able to re-calibrate the speedo so it is correct with the bigger tires and if I need to I will add lift in 5mm increments to counteract any more rubbing after trimming. My stock 19's with usable 255/55/19 tires are for sale, $200 for all 4, can deliver in Riverside or Long Beach CA.

Why bother with rods if you have a gap tool.

I shortened my front links before I had my GAP tool. Any further height changes will be done with the GAP tool.
