    If it's doing it on flat ground your tires are gonna be pretty unhappy when you whip in a driveway with a big curb at 20 mph. Lifting it more with preload will only fix it for flat ground driving.

    I've got a feeling it's an alignment problem. They aligned the truck before I got to install my dakar pack... so that could be it

    Truck looks good man! I'm thinking about going with a 285-75 (34") tire soon too. Do you have any clearance issues? Do a cab mount chop or cut any plastic?

    Just an fyi, a 285/75 roughly comes out to a 33" tire, if you want a 34, you have to get a 295 tire

    To be exact 285/75/17 is 33.83", 285/70/17 is 32.70"
    You are correct when it comes to 16's.

    Idk what those bfg's measure out to but the tires ive been looking at (cooper, toyo) in 285-75 are 33.9" diameter. Cooper just came out with the st maxx in 285-75 and according to their site it's a hair over 34.

    17's or 16's? That makes a difference

    Yeah each manufacturer is gonna be a little different. My numbers are from doing the math or using the tire size calculator at the bottom of the page.

    Yeah gotta make sure to specify wheel size when talking about tire sizes. Because 285/75, to me, automatically is referring to a 16" metric 33" tire because that is the most popular size. This is the first time I've seen 285/75r17 tires, it's always 285/70r17 and then a 34 is about 295/70r17

    Well since I was quoting this post and was referring to the tires he has (17") I just figured it kinda went w/o saying that I was speaking of tires in the 17" class. Sorry for being so vague next time I will specify. Thanks for the heads up and info!

    Thank you sir! No issues rubbing at all, I'm not running any spacers either. The pics don't do the tires justice, I HIGHLY recommend the g2s in the size. Just measured with weight on them 33.5 tall, width is 11.2-11.4. Perfect width for these trucks IMO. IMG_3746.jpgIMG_3748.jpg

    I usually don't have much to say either! And it looks like you've been here just as long as I have. :thumbsup: I don't have time to chat about the same questions over and over. Paint, tire sizes, vibrations, backspacing, trimming, it grows tiresome. Nobody wants to take time to read. It's been covered soooo many times. Lol. Glad your still here.
