Ok, I finally was given a pair of BFG ATs. These are 265/75/16. I have only been onroad with them and have had no rubbing. They said I have about a 1/4" left before they rub. We will see what happens when I hit the trail.

So, I put the ruler upside down, but you get the picture. I gained two inches.

I got some 265/75R16's 10 ply under my '05. Very aggressive AT's. I touch the plastic a bit, but they have been awesome. I don't do a lot of offroad rock climbing or anything, but when I head to my parents and it rains it is just terrible in the mud. I live in E. Texas and it can be tricky. My parents live outside of Waco and the black land there can be tough. My truck went every where with no complaints for 3 solid days of mud and never hesitated and slung lots of mud when I needed and putted along just fine when I didn't. I didn't really have to put it in 4x4 high, but I did, but I did need to turn off the RSC on side slopes and stuff so I could get on the gas when I slipped. Great pics of awesome trucks.

unfortunately its 2wd, but i have yet to get stuck. Love the bull bar, pretty sturdy and doesnt weight down the front.

That looks awesome Darkstone! What tire did you end up putting on? I hate that tailpipe sticking all the way out the back. If you look at my pics again, you can see that I hacked mine right where it starts turning to go out the back and put a tip on so it comes out right behind the tire. It looks better, but gets dirtier. Just in case you hate that thing as much as I do. Although the chrome tip helps.

i did the exact same for mine with a 3 inch magnaflow tip cuz i hated the straight outlet..

I just gotta say that 265s on Xs look so much better than the stock. I am so used to seeing mine like that way, that when I see one with stock, I think there is something wrong.
