3in Rough country lift is done

Wheels will be here tomorrow. Now to decide on the tires. Stock tires are 275/65r18, there looks to be room for 295/70 but not completely sure. Wheels are 18x9 with +12 offset. Is there anything or anyway to measure to see if the will fit without rubbing?

 

You go with the spacers or the new struts? I just did the new struts on mine Saturday, getting aligned and mounted up tomorrow morn. Going with 305 70 18 on +18

 

Spacers. Bought this truck for my son's 16th birthday. Not enough left in the bank for much else.

 

On my 07 I ran same lift. 325 65 18s on +12. I had to remove both of the front mud flaps and had little rub at full lock. You should be fine. Might have to do the same.

 

That's awesome. Found a tire 285/70 that is a 34". If 295 only had a minor rub, 285 should be good without rubbing?

 

Should be, a lot of guys run 295s, you should be fine with the body mount, I never had to mess with mine

 

That would be great. Don't mind a little plastic cutting, just really don't want to start cutting steel

 

285/70 is safe to fit with your setup without cutting any steel. Im running 305/65/16 on same size/offset wheels. if you go 295/70 there is good chance you have to do the BMC due to your wheel offset.
