Correct me if I'm wrong Hammer, but aren't those the the same hight tire? the 245 is the width and the 70 side wall height. So, those are the same height, the 4x4 is just wider?

The 265/70 is a tad higher than the 245/70, the heights are rounded to the nearest half inch, the stock 4x4 is actually a little less than 3/4 of an inch higher. There are a number of good conversion charts on the internet, I just Googled one to get the answers...
