if it is all ultimate then we need to see some specs on 18's and 20's....like the 285/65/18 or the 285/55/20.... I would imagine some are considering those as well...
considering yes but no one has posted any info about thoseif it is all ultimate then we need to see some specs on 18's and 20's....like the 285/65/18 or the 285/55/20.... I would imagine some are considering those as well...
The blingery is down the hall...Only muddy ones with lotsa rubber here...:yes:if it is all ultimate then we need to see some specs on 18's and 20's....like the 285/65/18 or the 285/55/20.... I would imagine some are considering those as well...
Second that...no grinding, spacers give you the clearance there. I tried without spacers and I would have to grind down everything there was on the upper ball joint to get enough clearance.FYI: I have 265/70/17 General grabbers and they fit with no rubbing. All I have is wheel spacers, and BDS suspension lift. I never had to do a upper ball joint mod and I didn't cut or hammer anything.
I run 285/70/17- I wouldn't have needed Spacers with 23mm offset wheels..17"
285/70/17 (33") - needs spacers, new wheels, suspension and body lifts, cutting/hammering to fit
Is there really that much defference in the 16" early models and the 17" later models? Or, have you guys just done more work with 17" wheels than the 16"? Not pointing fingers, just curious. I don't have a lift or spacers and I'll be getting a set of 255/75/16's at tax time, can't remember the name of them right now:suicide:, but I like the A/T tread that they had. If no one has done this, I'll let you guys know how they fit.Here's the information I could gather, assuming stock wheelshail:Thanks to Clayton and The Roadie!):
16"
265/75/16 - needs spacers
285/75/16 (33") - needs spacers, new wheels, suspension and body lifts, cutting/hammering to fit
17"
255/65/17 - OK w/ no lift, spacers, or mods
255/70/17 - needs upper ball joint mod, possible hammering to fit
255/75/17 - needs spacers, upper ball joint mod, possible hammering to fit
265/70/17 - needs spacers, upper ball joint mod, definite cutting/hammering to fit
:thx:thx
Except for the wheels, there are no other suspension differences among the years. Older trucks are more likely to be modded aggressively for offroad because very few folks want to put new ones at risk of being damaged, but that means more 17" owners are upgrading their tires for looks and there's more of them out there.Is there really that much defference in the 16" early models and the 17" later models?

I don't think I'll ever be in a situation where I'll need to air them down, but aggressive offroading IS in the future.and we coincidentally ALL chose 16" because you get the most sidewall ratio when the wheel is smaller, and we ALL go aggressively offroad where airing down to 15-18 PSI is very useful (or even essential) so the 16" choice was functional.
OK. At least you're not 2WD. :yes:Don't slap me with the "Mall Rated" sticker just yet, the TB is still the family vehicle for now.
