The OFFICIAL Lift and Tire Size Thread
I hope this can become a "sticky".
Keep in mind, if you reduce your factory backspacing...prepare for additional trimming. Also, consider tire choice (A/Ts and M/Ts will require a little more trimming)

I am under the asumption that these tire sizes only apply to 4X4 models?
I just purchased a 2wd '08 Extended Cab. Going to have 2 Goodyear Authority's
from Wally World put on the rear next Friday. 245/75/16's. Allready have 2 really nice used 245/75/16 Cooper Disc. ST tires to put on the front.
Mind you, my truck will be used for 90% driving to work & back and 10% hauling in chopped wood in the winter months.
Would like to run 265/75/16 Duratracs on all 4 corners the next time around.
I just put (2 months ago) a brand new set of 33x10.50x15 BFG AT KO's on my '94 Trooper. Cant say I am all that impressed with the BFG's, in spite of the $960 it cost me for them.
