305/65/18

I have a 2wd SC with 2.0 AS and 1.5 Rear Block. Last time I checked, most people recommended the BFG A/T 285/65/18, but recently I saw a leveled 4X4 with 305/65/18's and it looked perfect. Since my truck is close to the hight of a leveled 4x4, can I fit the BFG 305/65/18 A/T also? I will be keeping the stock wheels.

you are only sitting level with a stock 4x4 not a leveled 4x4. your rear height would work but your front you would rub. but im not saying it wont work. we put a set up 35" nitto terra graplers on my friends 01 f150 2wd. pulled off the front valence and they didnt rub. just not alot of room for suspension travel.

I forgot to mention I have a 2007. To me, it looks like my truck sits slightly higher than my friends stock FX4 with 20's.

I think I'd stick with the 285x65's (33") on your 4x2, the extra inch may cause problem's. If you can test fit a 305x65 that would be great but that's hard to do unless you have a shop willing to work with you.

I'm just a new guy to this stuff, but you can surely learn quite a bit fairly quickly from these threads. And these guys that posted know what they are talking about, definetly take the advice they give.

Thanks for all the help, i'll go with the 285's. I don't want to chance anything.

Mine is a 4x2 with 2.0 AS and 285/65/18's. As you can see, that's about all you can get in there. IMO the 305's would look too crowded.
