Hi there! I have a non ORP s/c 4x4 lariat, and was wondering if you guys are only referring to 285's fitting on the ORP's. Is there that much of a diffference in suspension height? I NEED more rubber! I currently have 255/70/16's goodyear couldn't pull a greasy man out of bed wrangler ap's THE WORST TIRES I HAVE EVER OWNED (read highway junk!) Any help would be appreciated

If I may ask a stupid question, what does "ORP" mean?

Well, to begin with, i have put on 285/75 onto my non ORP 4x4 XLT with no problem what so ever. There is no rubbing even in tight turns. They look great and i suggest that you get them. Also, to answer the next question, ORP = off road package.

 

Thanks klaibs!!!!! YEEHAW!!!!! installation on wednesday next week. CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

MANDRAKE27,
I was wondering if you have any fun up there off roading, I live only three hours away just over the border, south of Buffalo New York. I'll be home in August so if you want to get together, i'd love to come up there. Klaibs

Just got 285s installed wednesday. Fit great, no issues. i also leveled the front of the truck before then. Looks great! A LOT of room left in the front wheel wells. Almost wish that I had gone with 295s. Oh well.

 

Klaibs........tons of wheeling to be found. But unfortunately even up here I have to drive 3-4 hrs for big fun. I've only had my F150 for a month, previously I had a hopped up Ranger. For serious wheeling I used to go about 8 hrs north of here. There almost everything is public land. Anyhow cheers for now.....

 

PS. As for coming up here Klaibs....you arent 5' 8" 36-28-34 and light brunette are you????? LOLOLOLOL J/K My wheeling is almost entirely to get into remote lakes for fishing....I could give you a fair number of good trails though......also I have been on a few in Michigan....I'll search through the vaults for some info.

 

Mandrake27, I was hoping you would have something a little closer to toronto. Toronto itself is a good three hours away and to go another three to four would be a little too much. Good luck with your new tires. Eric
