Default 285/75/16"s

Has anyone tried running a 285/75/16 with just a 2in leveling kit?

That's almost a 33" tire, with only a leveling kit, that won't work.

i have those on my truck with a 3" B.L .... theres zero way to run them without one. when i had M/T,s they rubbed on the mud flap AND the front inner fenderwell... A/T,s on now and barley clear, so you need a 3" lift for that size bro...

Well today at work a guy i work with put a set of 285/75r16 goodyear duratracs on his ram. So befor we put them on his truck we tried them on mine and they fit with a little rub on the mud flap an on the inner fender wall. So with a little trimming they would work

Did you try driving on an uneven surface?

I get a small amount of rubbing with just 265-70-16's and the TM kit.
