I would like to run 285-70-17 also but i was told they will rub the plastic under the front bumper. How did you crank the torshon bars and did you hve to have an alinment done after?

get on your back by your front tire and look up. you will see this long bar that goes to your lower a arm i believe then back to a cross member. in the cross member is a bolt that when u tighten it the torsion bars spin causing the front end to sit higher. you should get an alignment but i havent yet i just rotate my tires more often and ive had em cranked for 2 years
