im getting a used set soon to try them out just the size and how the truck responds to them but ill be getting new wheels before i get brand new tires

 

oh yea thatd be good...i talked to the tire shop yesterday. my tires have dry rotted very badly and are five years old. they said i didnt have but a couple more thousand miles on them...would you go ahead and get some or wait and finish them out? they have cracks all in btw the treads and sidewalls...small cracks

 

Do you guys normally put bigger tires on then do the three inch body lift first or three ich body then bigger tires? I will be doin both here over the next couple months just didnt know the best route to take. I guess I could just wait til I get all the stuff bought then put it on all at once but thats not as much fun.

 

youll want to do a BL first or same time.

what size are you going to?

 

most likely 285/75/16

 

stock wheels?

id do the BL and then get some used tires. once you go up you wont wanna stop trust me.

i got my 33"s used over summer and its good since now im getting new ones and im not out for new tires

 

yeah on the stock wheels. I have two half used ones lined up off my pops' truck and I will look for two other used ones for starters. Thanks for the info

 

alex i had the same setup as your truck, same style. i went got the bl, them a week laterdid the tires...went up to 285-75-16, then year and a half later got 16x10 in wheels...which i love. now i wore that set out and will be putting on 305-70-16 toyo mt...sometimes it takes time but youll get there...

 

yeah half the fun is gettin your truck like ya want it

 

yea no doubt...would youj go 305 70? or 285 75 and save some money??

 

Alex id go with 285"s i ran 285's with just a leveling spacer and they rubbed a little at full lock. the Bl doesnt give more stuff for the turning or bigger tires really at your level

 

jake what is the name of the grill thing on your truck? can it be put on if i have a bl?? looks cool.....

 

Its an n-fab prerunner lightbar and it mounts to the bumper so it can be run with a BL.

im bout to re-mount it on my new bumper this weekend. Whoop!!

 

im still torn btw tires...found some nitto terra grapplers for 136 on a site and toyo mt for 242...both way cheaper....what should i get??these were both in 305/75/16

 

heres the thing man. you gotta remember the terra graps will ride like air and are cheap but they wont last near as long as the toyos or Bfg's will. they are a softer compound. goes with the statement you get what you pay for (reason im paying 200-250 for some 35x12.50 bfg's for now)
