OK I am actually gonna do my FrankenLift tomorrow. I am going to still use my bfg's 225/75/16 on for now because they still have half life on em. This will give me time to ebay more stuff and save for new tires.

What size tires are you lifted guys going to.
And who is beating their pinch welds
I have the 03 sport and Installing the Frankenlift II

If you stay around a 30 inch tire like a 245-75X16, then it will not affect your gas mileage quite as much as going to a 31/32. Doesnt seem like much but it is, esp. if you are using it as a DD. Plus articulation is good , just not as many problems.

do they make a 255/75 tire? i have never heard of anyone running it. I have heard 245/75, 255/70, 265/70, 265/75 but never 255/75; seems it may not cause as many problems as the 265 tires, but still get the height and a bit extra width.

Rusty's lift & 245/75 Super Swamper IROKS :twisted:

smashed the pinch weld & had to do some inner fender modification for rubbing & STILL have to trim more :evil: but it comes with running these tires so it's all good

oh & rims are 16x7 with 4 inch BS
