Haven't heard anything bad about lvl 8 rims

 

285/70-17's are nearly 33", pretty sure you'll need 3 inches or so of lift to put them under your truck

 

I have 2 3/4" currently, By the time I'm done with the full lift I will have a full 3" lift. Getting some adjustable UCA. Fit some 285/70R17's at the shop today Maybe at full stuff I'll rub but that's what a saw saw is for

 

when you guys stuff tires that are 10% oversize, do you change the final drive ratios to compensate, or just lug it when you're crawling ?

 

285s are generally accepted as the upper limit before regear. I had no trouble with acceleration, etc.

 

its not acceleration I'd be worried about as much as how slow I can go while crawling over gnarly terrain when I'm offroad I often wish my high range 1st gear was lower

 

hmm, if those are 17x7, they aren't wide enough for the 285/70s... they'd need to be 17x7.5

 

The CL ad is wrong fj steelies are 7.5

 

Nice price, I live so far out in the sticks that deals like that are never around.

 

I know this. I have 285s on.

 

What kinda of dog do you have? It Looks just like my dogo but brown.
Mine is 4 months right now and is just over 50lbs

Cute dog. I have a pibble. Or more specifically a pitbull and an American bull dog mix.

 

Nice! I don't know what the name is for mine he is a dogo argentino pitbull mix. Mom is 100lb pitbull and dad is a 130lb dogo. Awesome dog. Now if i can get him to stop puking in my damn truck lol

 

Talked with discount tire and need to go look at a few rims now. He has some level 8 punch and american outlaw regulator in 17x9. They have some pretty good prices for packages to.

 

This is a steal on these...especially with the center caps included

 

Yeah that's a 2200 mile drive for me

 

In 4 low, I'm under geared in technical terrain. My tires are 33.5" and I'm on stock gears with a manual trans.

 

Yeah I agree with the manual I also have a 6 speed and the gearing is kinda odd. I might look into a re gear if I don't like how it drives tho.

 

Just to give you an idea. This is for 1 center cap....new, but still.

A few years ago you could find these wheels and caps. But they're drying up...especially as a set of 4 with caps.
