you can fit a 33 or 285-75 16 stock height but you need at least three inch lift for 35s

and that's assuming its 4wd.
also, 285/75 is a big as you can stand on stock 3.55 gears. its at the suck level and gets beyond worse if you go bigger.

SEARCH THE FORUMS!!!

Sorry I have been around long enough that I feel like the other veterans when someone can just search the forums for their answers.....

ANYWAY...I run 285/75R16 and only noticed rubbing if I really really crank it in any directions, like making a sharp sharp turn.

Go bigger...more rubbing...go 35 and some ppl say 3 inch lift some others say 2 inch lvling in front...I don't have experience on that part at this time.

On the Top Gun Customz website, they say you can run 35's with their 2" level kit and the right back-spacing...if you are 4x4...I agree, need more info.
