I have not put my lift on yet... in fact i may sell it or return it and hold off for a while and buy the RK 3.5. I bought the rusty's 2.5" but heard it makes the front coil contact the uca... is that true? Anyway I am about to order tires tonight online should i get a 235/75/16 or a 245/75/16 i will be running them with no lift for a while. :?: Thanks for any help

I'm currently running 245/70s on my Cragar rims with no lift. I had to do a bit of cutting on the front side and I need to pound out the pinch welds too. I'm pretty sure 245/75 would give you considerable rub without the lift, so you might wanna wait until you decide if you are gonna put it on or wait for the new one..

The RK lift may also hit the coil and uca. Did on mine, was fine on a couple other peoples though.

I guess I should reply to this as I have 235/75/16's on right now. At full flex, and full lock (left or right) = no rub. Mine are Uniroyal Liberator A/T's.
