I saw some great posts on people upgrading the stock 4x4 17 tires to the 285/70/17.

My question is how much higher does to it lift the truck. I park mine in my garage and I should have good clearance but I want to make sure.

I think the factory cranked my torsion bars up. When I bought my truck it was the tallest on the lot and it sits higher than all stock ones.

I am looking to replace the skinny stock banana skins. I have a 2001 4x4 with the off-road package and the FX4 wheels (same as the fx4 17's).

Just want to avoid coming home from the tire place only to find it wont fit in the garage.

Thanks!

 

I'm running 305/70 on the 16" Wheels. it should be about the same height as 285/70/17 which gain about 1" in Diameter from the factory (FX4). I don't have any lift and factory set torsion bar height, mine fit in the garage with no problem.

 

Is the 285/70/17 the 31" or 33" wheel?

 

285/70-17's are basically a 33x11.50-17 where as the stock 265/70-17's are essentially a 32x10.50-17. Therefore, they are about an inch taller than the stock tire, so they should actually make the truck about 1/2 inch taller than stock.
