How big of a lift would I need to fit 24s?

Hey guys, I have a '07 Screw and I'm looking to throw some 24" DUB Mambas on it. I already have a leveling kit installed and am wondering how much of a lift I'd need to fit 24s with a decent size tire. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Please tell me you don't want to lift your truck to run a street tire on 24's.
Now if you want to lift it fit a 40 inch mud tire on 24's, that's awesome!

I had 24's On a 98 Ranger with thr same size tire guys were running on full-size trucks. Think it was a 295/35, not to sure. Side wall was around 2.5"-3" tall. Only place I rubbed was at full turn

You don't need any lift to make any size wheel fit...it's the tire diameter that determines everything.

that leveling kit should be enuff, depends on what size tire u wanna use. if u lookinf for a 37" or 40" tire than start looking at 6"-10" lifts

Rims size doesnt matter, just tire size. To run 35's you need 6" lift if 2x4. not sure who makes a 35 for a 24" rim though.

Look at Nitto Terra Grapplers... They make a 305/40/24 for you.. Its a 33" tire but you wouldnt want much more or you will rub due to the typical high positive offset of "DUBS".

i think they make a 315/50/24 as well which is close to a 36". I think trailgrappler makes 35 for a 24" rim

These are what they look like to give an idea. The reason i dont want 26s is because people have said it destroys your brakes.

when u want big rims u gotta upgrade brakes and rotors to accommodate for the rim size, thats a easy fix! And 26s on a truck isnt that bad, i would just get some 4:10 gears and be just fine bro

24s always look good on trucks,with a nice deep exhaust, truck should be nice
