that or 3" body and 33s is probably the most common lift on the site

and ^^his truck is an exception, it sits really low because of that bumper.. when i had a BL and 285s ~ 32.8 i sat a few inches over him

so running 285s and a 3 inch bl will look ok? i think that when i put my wheels on they are gonna be close to rubbing. and if i wanna go back to the pit thats on my property i think it would rub even with a t bar crank. 3 inches i think would look good on it and give me more room for my tires to clear if i need to go over fallen tree limbs.

if you throw 285/75s on stock wheels they will rub at full lock on the sway bar.. and when you tuck them they will rub too, trim the bed side or you'll take chunks outa the drive side rear tire

not really no but i would personally rather get 33's and 15's then spend a good chunk of change getting 285... there usually more expansive depending on the brand..

I know, the bumper doesn't help very much haha, that is why I'm hoping after I get #1 t-bars it will give me my inch to inch and a half back.

just for kicks my truck with 285s, cant tell much difference

the wheels are 5 inch backspacing. i have to run 1.25 inch adapters for them. the offset is rear wheel drive.
