Ya sorry I went out of town this weekend and haven't had time to put them on. They are sitting on my work bench. I should be able to put them on this weekend. Hang tight!

What size-image-3104041875.jpg

I'm running 285's with 3in keys in the front but only cranked them up about an inch because I wore out my ball joint cranking them all the way and 2in blocks in the back. But you can easily fit 285's stock.

I run 285s, no problems, PLENTY of clearance!


You don't even need aftermarket keys, man.


Actually, one thing I noticed: I have the offroad package which was pretty much an FX4 before the FX4 existed, and I had a significantly higher stock ride compared to other 4x4s from our MY. I run 285s on 17s with plenty of clearance

Could I run 295/70/17 Terra Grapplers on my truck?? I have aftermarket keys with them cranked up where my truck sits level, I know 285's will fit from what y'all said up there bit will the extra height and width make them rub?? It will be a few months before I can buy but I figured I'd ask while this thread was going.

Me and this cat argued for like an hour on this subject and he started attacking me and saying that because i asked if a pit arm was a balljoint i didn't have a clue what i was talking about lol. he is thinking that because there is still room to crank on the aftermarket keys that they are safer than regular keys. but he is going with a big brush gaurd or bumper replacements so he will prob need more lift than stock keys because of he weight and in that case id recommend 7700 torsion bars. so they don't snap due to aftermarket keys and weight. but anyways that truck will look nice after your done with it would you consider selling me those rims if you get new ones?
