Get Nitto trail grapplers. Ive read some rave reviews on them. Im getting the 295/70r18 this weekend, 34.5" x 11.7" except I'll be getting -12 offset wheels also. you might need a 1/4 or 1/2 inch spacer. might be close tho. If i remember right, stock tire width is like 10.8 and you have about 3/4" clearance on the upper control arm. Also I have a TRX4 which is 3/4" higher in the front then yours. I think you could fit it without much problem. Good luck

In regards to rim width, 9" is sufficient to run 12.5" wide tires (i used to run 12.5" on 8 rims on my wrangler and currently have 33x15.5 Mickey Thompson Baja Claws on 10" wide rims with no issues).

So, for the tire size of 285/60/R20, what size tire is that? Also, I see that cwoposey is also running 20" XD rims, which I assume has a greater offset, right?

I happened across this on google, couldnt get the pic to load. But check this guys truck out! It looks freakin awesome, and appears to have no lift. Tires are 35"12.5"r20 Toyo MT, and wheels are Atx Artillery 20x9 -12 offset. I might be goin back to my first choice which was the black artillerys

Jake09, i love your truck. for your leveling kit, did your dealer give you any crap with your warranty? I have the same truck, and think I will be going with your same setup.
