Does anybody run 295/60/20's with a 4" lift? It's a 34.4" by 11.8" tire. I just ordered a set last week and now I'm going to buy a 4" lift and am wondering if the tire will look too small.

35s technically only measure 34.5" so should be just fine!

Technically, you are correct However, I've see them anywhere from 34.3" to 34.8" but Never 35".

It really depends on the manufacturer, model or type.

What tires are you going with? What rims are you going to use. I'm curious on your set-up as I'm in the same boat.


Thanks

I got the Cooper STT pros, 295/60/20. On the stock FX4 20" rims. Currently I have a 2" level but am most likely buying either a Rough Country 4" or a Rancho 4" lift.

I love and swear by Coopers. Best tire I've ever ran. My last set of STT's on my truck are just now wearing out, and I'm at 68k miles. Plus it's a lighter tire, and a cheaper price tag.

can perhaps any of you fellers with a 4" lift take a measurement of the overall height of the truck? I'm trying to determine if I can go to a 4" lift and slightly bigger tire size than my 275 but still fit in the garage. If you could post your tire size that'd be appreciated also!!

Thanks for sharing....I have been looking at those same tires too. I have it narrowed down to the Nitto Trail Grapplers and the Cooper STT Pro's.

I have ran both... Ran the nitto's on my last truck. Good tire. Ran the Cooper's on this truck and won't switch back. Just my preference, but it's a lighter tire, quieter ride and tread wear was way better imo, and cheaper price.

I'm running the Copper STTs on my truck. Great tire.
I'm at 42000 miles on the tires, and they look like they have half of their life left.

They're also great in pretty much every traction situation I have thrown at them. Especially deep snow
