The hight differnce with the tt done and bigger tires can u really tell a differnce?

 

[Ryan Eylander]

Im running 285/75/R16 Nokian tires with the TT and shackle lift. I get about an inch and a half with the tt and shackle and about the same with the larger tires so its like a 3 or so inch lift. There is a little bit of rubbing up front at full turn but no biggie. The size will really depend on the offset of the rim as well.

[Ben Poche]

if you do a body lift which i am ordering tomorrow you can go with a 255 75 16 (34x10x16) i got the same as Ryan 1.5" front and rear TT/SL and about 1" on tires so 2.5" total lift it is not very noticeable to me but i have always had tall trucks, but people always ask why mine looks different.i love posting pics:lol:

just doing the tt dose the front set up higher then the back?

 

[Brandon Hovater]

All I did was a TT. It raised the front end about 1 5/8". that is what I needed to level the truck. I have 285/75/16's on mine with just very little rubbing.

I have TT/shackles also with 265/75-16's, they rub the swaybar just a little in the front and the inner fenders just a little in the back. Problem is the stock rims have too much backspacing. Personally I'm not a fan of spacers. I think a 32x11.50-15 on a 15x8 rim with 3.75" backspace (this is common) would work.

 

[Allen Brown]

I have the 16 inch rims b/w.

 

[Johnny O]

Problem with 16" rims is that the stockers and most aftermarket units have more backspacing than ST'ers need (about 4.5") and the tires rub on the inside. A 15x8/3.75" BS rim is common but the least backspace I've seen on a 16x8 is 4.0" on a Pro Comp 1069 wheel.

 

[Allen Brown]

So if i got 265/75's or even 275/75s i am gonna rub in the back too i know the front is gonna rub a tad thats given but i am gonna do the tt i dont have money for new rims yet cuz i gotta fix the damn pant ford did screw alot of poeple over with the paint issue mine is craking on the hood and now the finders are starting... I kinda want to sell it but then dont its one of those things i cant trade cuz where i am at one my pay off and plus the paint issue just makes her look like she isnt worth 11 grand sad to say she runs like a champ tho.

Yes but not bad enough that you'd notice. If it weren't for the shiny swaybar ends up front and marks on the rear inner fenders, I'd never know. I never hear it or feel it. Don't worry about it. You can get wheel spacers if you want.

 

[Ben Poche]

a 4x4 does not turn as sharp as a 4x2 my 265 75 16 do not rub

 

[Johnny O]

Of course I've been known to flex it a little....
