    Looking to put 305 60r 18 on my trunk. I have 260 60r 18 on it now. What all do I need to get? A 3" lift or maybe larger and how bad is the rub. What is everyones opinions? Also pic's if you can.

    Some people run 305's with a 3" lift, they will fit, but trimming the fenders will be needed and possibly a cab mount chop... I would go with a 3" lift and run 285's.
    But 305's look sick. Good looking truck btw

    That's a nice truck, but it takes some cutting and trimming and beating and more beating to get 305s to clear with a 3" lift unless you run glass in the front.

    No. There are folks w/ 305s on a 3 inch lift, but you have to be confident in your ability to cut and reshape trim and fenders and be able to trouble shoot any other rubbing or interference issues.
