Tire size

PSYCHOFREAK3 · 04-04-2007, 04:58 PM

Does anyone know what size tires you can run with lets say a 2 or 3 inch lift kit?

Awesome thanks, I was thinking of going with like a 6 inch lift but that would require tires that are way too big lol. It is 4x4 but only 3.54 rear gears and I don't want to swap them out at all so 35's should be good there. Thanks again for the quick help.

one thing to keep in mind. my speedo reads about 10MPH slow and the odomiter to. it helps to know when checking your fule milige. with the 37's for every 100 miles on the odomiter / trip meater i have aculy gone 113 so the avrage mpg's on my overhead desplay is normaly 1.5-2.5 less than what i am really getting if it reads 18.5 i am really getting 20-21 mpg.

i would recommend the 35's due to you will save yourself some cash but for the look the 36's will do the trick...are you runnin aftermarket wheels or are you staying with the stock wheels?

This would be my first lifted truck with big tires so I have no clue on the tires and rims. I guess at first I would want to stick with the stock rims for cheapness.

It depends on the lift. Some lifts you may need more back spacing otherwise at full lock your tires may rub on the lower control arm but if you stick to 35's you should be fine. i needed to change my rims once i went up to a 37 for that reason.
