Hey everyone, im new here so bare with me, got a 04 lariat, leveled it out but then put a ranch hand grille guard so I know I lost some if not all of the height id gained, now im trying to fit 295/70/18 terra grapplers and there telling me they wont fit in front, so im thinking body lift is my best/cheapest option? any ideas or comments would be really appreciated, Thanks! Cant afford a lift right now and I want to keep my ranch hand on there...

If you can't get the lift right now then go with a body lift. 2 or 3 inches I would imagine either would work.Then you should have no problems squeezing the 295s on there. You will be able to leave the level too if I'm not mistaken since the body lift doesn't mess with the suspension components.

I would wait on the tires and buy the lift first then just my opinion

Yeah that makes sense too. OP how big are your tires now? Because the bl if he installs himself should be not much more than 250 tops. But some 295 grapplers may be a little more than that haha

By lift I mean suspension lift

Lol yeah im against body lifts most look stupid because the bumpers don't look right and after the lift and relocaters it's almost as much as suspension lift

What about replacing your springs with ones with High Spring Rates, to handle the additional weight of your grill guard, cheaper than a suspension lift, and gets stuff back to closer to stock....

tires right now are 285/65/18's but.... 2 of em got slashed so I have 2 good ones and 2 cheap, bald, used ones for now, so I do need the tires, I figured Id go up a size since I do need to buy some, thats why Im doing tires first,

Grimmy, how would I find springs like that? what do I search or ask for or what? or do u know where to find them?

I'm not sure the actual diameter of 285/65 but you should be able to goto 33" with Lil or no rub
