Thanks

That is the size of the true enthusiast. This will be moved to the tires section soon I bet.

Need lots o' lift. That is about a 32 inch tire. Most definitely will not fit on stock suspension.

Moving to the Tire section...

To run a 32" (265/75/16 or 235/85/16) you really need to be running a premium lift. Either All J's Frankenlift, JBA's 4" lift or OEM springs/top plate and a clevis lift. No matter which lift you choose, there is a lot of trimming of the front flares, pinch weld, and most likely relocating the washer bottle.

Look around in the tire section, and you'll find alot more info.

OME springs- as in an old man chasing large flightless birds - not OEM - which would be stock

Running 235/85/R16 Bighorns on stock rims on a Rusty's 2.5 coil spring lift with the front plastic inner fenders removed and pinch weld pounded over (and washer bottle relocated). A little rubbing at full lock stuffed in the front on the inner frame - no flare rub at all. It was the best combo so-far after 245/75/R16 MTR's on Rubi rims which rubbed on the flares and everything else...
