If it's in your budget you might want to look into getting your beams cut and turned, gives you lift without the drop brackets. More expensive but stronger all around.

When I do a full turn there is some rubbing on the radius arms, but I have 33x12.50 BFG AT's on my Stock Rims. So if you go with maybe a 33x10.50 they might not rub as bad. But I like the little wider Tires, and it's not so bad that it bothers me. I just have to remember it when I'm making a sharp turn that they rub, it's the Ol' looks over function.

Yes! I almost forgot (Thanks man ^) they will rub especially 35's... I put 1.5" spacers on there from eBay and torqued them correctly and now it won't touch the radius arms at full turn... also you will have to trim your bumper because the tire will rub at a certain angle while backing up.. atleast that's when mine did... it was wierd but I just took a grinder and shaved off some... everything works good, I just installed the free steering stabilizer rough country gives with their 6" lift... it is rather nice

Not trying to jack this thread, but everyone has 4x4 trucks, and I've got a 2WD.... What is the largest I can go? I'm okay with a little bit of rubbing on hard lock right or left. I have heard 285s and 32s will be the maximum, can anyone confirm?

Thanks, and I love the trucks here!

If I'm thinking correct on this, then I can fit 32's? I've never thought of a body lift, I will look into that

Anyone have any experience with these? I'm sure you would have to buy longer shocks to match te new springs.

It's 32" at the bottom of the door... The lift is an older Rough Country 8" chassis lift and 3" body lift....
