I think a 2" would probably be what I need to make the front even with the back so i could fit, a 30x10 tire? Cuz I did some measure ments i have 30x9 and the new tire will be 30x10...so i am trying to juggle everything around so my sh*t will be right.

Hey Slick,
Just wondering what tire and size you're planning on?

I wouldn't call it major rubbing. I took about a half inch off the inside edges of the splash guard and bumper to clear, and it rubs slightly on the fender liner at full lock. Not bad at all

I am going to drop down in wheel size to a 17" wheel, I will post which wheel after there installed since no one else is running it right now.. I am going to run a Goodyear wrangler dura track 265/70/17 load ratting is a "C" and it's
1.09 bigger in overall diameter then my stock set up.. If I run into any rubbing because of the "0" offset of the new wheel, I will switch to BFG all terrain T/A 265/65/17 load ratting E which I am not to fond of because of our light Dakotas.. The bfg tire is the same overall diameter as my stock set up, I may change my secondary tire option but I got tired of looking for the moment and need a break from it all.. Cya Slick

PS..I am a big fan of white lettering tires so I leaned towards that when ever possible, maybe me being old school but I just like white lettering LOL.. By the way I like the good years because there not loud on the freeway even tho they look like they should be with there aggressive side wall pattern..

30 seconds at each corner with a Dremel had me all set. Unless you are looking for it, you can't even tell where I trimmed
