Default New Tires Rims

I couldn't stand looking at my leveled truck with tiny stock tires anymore.
2.5 rough country front and 1.5 rear. 255/75/17 Duratracs. Rubs slightly at full turn but I can cut just plastic and make it stop.

Now we can see. Looks good man, Welcome to Club Duratrac. You won't be disappointed with them.

Yeah love them so far. The lift and tires got rid of the floaty ride, feels like it handles a lot better. My dad has the Duratracs on his Cummins and has around 50k on them.

What pressure do those of you with Duratracs run?

Looks good man! I'm seeing more and more people successfully ad the RC lift kits now. I'm going to find a new mechanic and give it another try...Maybe i'll do it myself. I put in new suspension in my 08 Honda Fit this past weekend. But I've never worked on any truck/SUV suspension.

Looks sweet. I have a 2 1/2" front and 1" rear on mine and I fit 285s on it (TRX4) with just some slight rub on the rear edge of the front of the flares so I trimmed them and got rid of the rub. Now the only rub I get is the inside rear edge of the tread on the frame in almost full lock. And I just take care of that with some undercoat where it rubs the paint off. Haha
