    Too few to list.
    I don't think they wheeled it as it would have been impossible since tires rubbed just when turning.

    5100's are to short for max droop. I'm amazed I haven't sheared one yet. I always have a rear tire in the air pissing in the wind.

    Not weird to me. I wanted a quality ride with max clearance and max down travel....it's a tough choice on a budget and you need to pick your battles. 255/85/16's get me the higher clearance for rocks.

    this

    with no spring slap

    because down travel is more important then looking cool :cool:

    I'm always the smallest truck at meets, but usually the only guy blowing down the trails besides one of our stock mods.

    I think I will just stick with 265/75/16 that tcBob suggests. I have an extra set of 16" gen 1 rims, so that works for me. I appreciate all of the input.

    I want the most tire I can get without any issues or cutting and 265/75/16 sounds like the rout to take.

    I do take my taco down some decently challenging trails, all with a camper on the back. I was able to drive the Lippencott Road on my stock Dunlop DuraTracs, with an 800lb camper, no issues or scrapes. Probably got lucky to not get a flat.

    I am going to try some General Grabber AT2's, as I have been very pleased with their products and value for car tires.
