    The consensus I've seen on these boards is 265/75/R16 or 265/70/R17 with no rubbing/trimming. I'm researching 275/70/R17s at the moment. Seems like they should fit but it's pretty mixed with reports of rub and no rub.

    Note on the 275s, it's an odd tire size and there aren't to many options out there depending on the type of tire your after.

    Did you notice any difference in the ride after you has the TSB and added the 5100's? I don't do much if any offroading other than what I do when I go hunting, but wouldn't mind a bigger stance.

    With the preload on the springs the front is stiffer than stock. The 5100s in the rear was the biggest change, at least in my mind. The rear end seems more planted to the ground. It doesn't feel like it's hopping on hard bumps anymore. Overall very pleased. My problem now is I want to go higher...it never ends. You'll be fine both on and off road.
