I've got 285/75 on my stock rims. The only rub is on the inside control arms at full turn. Every once in awhile you'll get a strange look from the sound pulling sharp into the parking space, but otherwise they run great. No gear changes, etc.

Stock Dodge Ram 1500 w/33x12.5 tires. Rubs a little bit at full lock, but not bad at all.

I can't agree with this more, I just place my order for gears and lockers and it was 1630 shipped than add 675 for labor.

Viper bought a 4X4!

I love the truck legend, that's almost exactly what I wish mine looked like...


on topic, I'm another guy with the 285's on stock suspension, no issues other than the slight rub on the control arms at full lock
