New Your Tire/truck Combo Pics

[daxrizo]

I recently bought a 2011 Z71 crew cab and am debating size of tire. I've read the tire and rim forum but I can't find a picture of anyone running 285 or 305 on an 18 inch rim. Before I unload the motherload on the BF Goodrich All Terrains I'd like to see some examples. I don't plan on doing a lift other than maybe raise the front an inch. Anyone?

Thanks

no one? I was told today that the biggest, without a lift, would be 285/60 18. Is that true?

Just do 2" rc level and 285/60s u wont regret it. Its cheap and takes 30 mins to Install taking your time. These trucks look bad with no level kit

that's what I was thinking but I tow a trailer and don't want the spend the money on rear suspension just yet.

why would u need to spend money one rear suspension? is just raises the front up 2 inches. My back end still sits up about 1/4" more

Buy the Rancho Quicklift or Bilstein 5100 and level your truck 1.25-1.75"

 

Also the BFG are super cheap in 275/70/18, so I would look into them. They are a true 33"

I just want a 1 inch lift on the front because I use my truck bed to haul my bikes to the track and want it level when loaded. The trailer alone, when friends come along, is a four bike trailer made of metal so it's heavy.

Just put a 2" kit in front and replace the factory 1.25" rear block with a 2" rear block. Then, you'll still have a little rake for towing.

I'll post up some pics tommorrow of my dad's 18" centerlines with 275/70 Cooper zeon ltz's (these are slightly taller and narrower than the 285/60)
