    I can't decide on weather or not I'm going to get a 3inch lift when I get my 265/75/16 duratracs on TT fj black rims. I have seems some pictures of trucks where it looks nice but others look too small help me decide!

    If you Get some spacers they will look 1000x better! I'm in the same boat. But with winter and MPG's, I might go 265.

    I have to say though the only reason I'm thinking of going to 285's is because I will be at about 3.25" up front and a 2" AAL rear... 265's look great on 2"-2.5"

    I'm happy with my 265s. But I am not at 3" of lift anymore. After adding the shell, armor and winch, I've settled to about 1.5"-2". If you plan on being a full 3" after settling, I would say 285s.

    I guess I could try billies set at like 2' but I just don't want it to have rake I wanted it to be level.

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    Or you could look into the Ironman 4x4 2" lift. 265's don't look bad on it.

    If your only going with a 2" lift then dont get 285's. Your def going to rake with 2" up front and nothing in the rear. On the 5100's .85" is what levels out the truck stock.
