do you have 16'' or 17'' rims ?
 






im not sure what im going with right now. just exploring the options. in your opinion whats the best setup?
 






to give you an idea im running a 2.5 inch spacer in just the front and im running 33's
 












Sorry to break your bubble DirtDigger19, but 265/75's are somewhere between 31.2-31.9 overall. It will vary a bit based upon manufacturer, tread patter, tread depth, etc...

Not quite 33's. Now 285/75's, them be the 33's. Those will rub on your upper control arms at the least.

is your ex leveled out with just the 2.5 spacer in the front?

can you put some pics up?
 






yeah ill post some up later tonight
 






Man why can't I remember his name but he had 33s on his mounty with only a body lift. It is very possible with minor trimming of the inner wheel wells. The rear isn't a issue unless you have factory running boards. If you want to keep the running boards they will need to be shortened about and half an inch.
 






i want to do the coil spacer lift most likely. after reading some peoples experience with the body lifts sounds like it can be a nightmare. so with 17s and the 2.5 up front and 1.75 rear whats the max size tire i can fit without trimming. and what wheel offset and width do yall use for this setup?
 






Im running 2.50 front and 2.25 rear lift spacers with Pro Comp 265/75R16 (31.5x10.5R16) tires and Pro Comp Rims 4.50BS and 0mm offset.

No rubbing issues!!
 






can you post some pics up pa? i wanna see how the tires fill out the fenders
 












Let me know if you recieved my PM!
 






got your pm but it was blocked too
