The 295/70/18 tires are 34.25" in diameter. I am pretty sure you would have a significant rubbing issue with only a 2" level. I don't think the 3" body lift buys you any clearance for tires. My 285/65/18 (32.6 dia.) Terra Grapplers just clear without rubbing. A 33" diameter tire is gonna be about your limit without doing some triming.

The body lift will most definately provide clearance. Hence their purpose. Those tires should fit nicely without any trimming. They are only 11.61" wide which will make for a nice fit on the 8" wide stockers.

I guess I stand corrected!! However, since the Zone Offroad Products website (Zone 3" BL Web Page) states "Max tire size: 33 x 12.50", you might want to get a few more opinions before spending your money on tires! Maybe the addition of the leveling kit gives you the extra clearance. I am sure Blackout07 has more experience with this than I do!!

Hopefully, someone with the exact set-up that you are planning to do will step in and confirm this for you!!

Good luck!!

I am looking at this same size tire for my truck when i get my lift put on. Because of pricing, i think I may go with the Terra Grappler ones b/c they have them listed at $215 each from tirebuyer.com. I couldn't believe it when I saw their price for this tire/ they usually run around $250 each everywhere else (or more).

So, I would check out tirebuyer's website to look and compare the price of the Trail Grappler's and try and get a price match at your local shop if the price is cheaper.

they will fit.. look at my pic there 285/75/16 (32.8) with maybe one inch raise in the front.

no rubbing, they didnt rub even before the new keys, its the width you have to watch.

if it was a 305 vs the 285 they would rub.

i like the 295/70/18

Easy with all of those exclamations...Mark. Don't turn into He-Man.

With 5" of total lift, he will be able to comfortably fit those tires. I ran that exact lift setup with 305/55/20's (33.21 x 12.01) on aftermarket wheels with no issues as are several others around here. The size difference between the tires I ran and what he wants to run is not much and the use of the stockers will ease the fitment. If any trimming is required it shouldn't be much. Op if you are in doubt, get a test fit.

He-Man punctuates with force!! Can't spell worth a crap though!!!

It is a bad habit of mine to use a lot of exclamations. Sometimes when I go back and read what I've posted it looks like I am YELLING!! So....SORRY!!!....I didn't mean to YELL at you!!
