Default Hello to all

My name is brewhaw and I am a newbie. I just traded in my 250 diesel for a 150 ecoboost and just seeing the mpg diff on the display makes it worth while. First order of business is to replace the stock perrillies. I have a 2011 screw 4x4 KR with 20" wheels. I went to the local tire store today and they tried to sell the bridgestone dueler AT to me. 275/60r20. does anyone run these WITHOUT a level or lift? All pics are appreciated. I did spend about 5-6 hours online looking at the tire forum but most everyone has a level or lift so please dont be too harsh on a rookie asking for pics and advice so soon. thank you

Welcome to the site! I'm fairly new here too. You won't have a problem fitting those tires on stock rims without a lift or level. I mounted 285 60 20 Goodyear Duratracs on my stock 20" wheels with absolutely no rubbing. In fact, I have about 1" to spare at the closest point I see. As far as the tires go, I had a set of Dueler ATs on a previous truck and liked them alot.

I am going to do a level but haven't gotten my 5100's yet. I think the front wheel wells look a bit stuffed with the 33.5" Duratracs but your slightly shorter 275 60 might look better.

Here's a few pics of mine at stock height with my Duratracs.

thanks to all! JJKJ truck looks sweet. Can you get aggressive and have no problems off road with rub anywhere with your setup?

Welcome to the site. You should be able to fit those tires just fine without a lift or level.

Thanks. I don't know as I haven't tried articulating the suspension much but I can't view any point where there'd be rubbing.
