[QUOTE="Johnny O, post: 540130, member: 61743"] I put 265/75's on also. If I had to do it again I'd probably skip the shackles. It's that much higher I've got to climb to get into the bed, which is often (I'm tall but not getting any younger). The 265's rubbed up front a little at full lock and on the inner fender in the rear. Just turning the bars up to level will be fine w/o the shackles. I did that on the Ranger I had before. Put 45k on it that way including some 'froading, never had a CV problem. Mostly I got the shackles for extra ground clearance, not tire clearance. Basically I'm up about 1.25" with the TT and shackles and another 1.5" from the tires (3" taller tire = 1.5" each side of rim). Without the shackles my truck would sit level.
