Ok right now i just have the 265/70/r17 on there but i want to go to a 305/75/17 and to my understanding i need a 1.5" or 2" leveling blocks under the front end. Is this true and which one. I would also like a good suggestion on tires under $190 a piece that wear good on gravel but get a long good in snow. I do some serious towing in snow, pulling 24'x8' gooseneck with skid steer to push snow. And i was also wonder if i should go with 305/75 or 305/70 i don't realy want to ship the crap out of my paint, i do drive a lot of gravel. I have been running nitto terra on my hunting pickup, get a long good in the snow, but i have read they don't wear very good. Hunting pickup gets 2000 miles a year mainly in snow.

you dont need a lift to fit those....people usually put on spacers to fit 35's, but some of us run 35's stock height (minor rubbing)...cheap tires now are hard to come by so id say your best bet would be bfg at's...they arent super cheap but they wear like iron and are some of the best tires you can get for the snow...well worth the money

305-70-16's no rubbing at all! Cooper atrs were 159.62 a tire. great in water/snow and tread wear.
