    Nice! Just make sure to hit those uniballs with some tri flow right away. I didn't do it right off the bat (Camburgs) and they started to surface rust quick. Able to clean em easy enough and tri flow has kept em that way

    285 75 16 would look bad ass. Pretty big and are actually same width and Height as my 285 70 17. Might have to trim a little but would look huge!

    The only thing is I really bought this rig to take me on cross country roadtrips (and then to get me into the tight places on the last leg of those trips). I'm not sure if I can justify 285's in this situation. At the same time, I've seen people occasionally saying 285's are getting them better mileage at highway speeds??

    Those guys must be :rasta:

    285s quickly made it impossible to get 20 mpg. I had a scan gauge when I switched. Most I saw with 265s was 22. Most with 285s was 18. Since have added gobs of weight, so it hasn't gotten any better

    Hmm this or km2's. Just don't know if they make sense with lots of highway driving.
