Show us your 32" tires with a 3" lift

Are you running the since discontinued 285/75/16 Mud Grapplers or the 305/70/16 Mud grapplers?

 

OK, at first I was complaining about bad rubbing even after the 3" lift, but all I had to do was use my Dremel with a 2" cutoff wheel and nix a small amount off the inside back of the front fenders and my new 285/70R/17s with my 17"x 9" XD Revolvers fit great. I got to try it out this weekend in real dirt too.

BTW, I hate the bull bar, but added the lights until I could get bumpers. That's why I went to the California 200 - to check out bumper options.

Heres mine with a 3" Toytec ULC lift, and 285/60/18 Cooper Zeons. The front is higher now than in the picture by about an inch or 2. I cranked it up more once it settled after initial installation of the coilovers.

 

OME Front and rear. ~3" lift on 32.7" tires. They will rub full flexed, or with the wheels turned fully and some flex, or.. etc. I am fairly heavily trimmed but on stock body mounts. I live with the occasional rub knowing that it will get fiberglass fenders and long travel someday.


See how nicely they tuck

 

oh no i got mine about 6 months ago and they are the extream terrains, paid about 1200 for all 4 with shipping

 

they are like 32.5" tires. i get rubing going over dips while turning...thats it. 285-65-18

how it sits now...


how she moves around

 

285/75 16 Nitto Terra Grapplers and MB Razor wheels. The tires measure just over 32" from the ground. Had to trim...very minor.

 

i like how the 265's show off my suspension more than my old 285's

 

BFG LT285/70/17R

 

do yourself a favor and research tire weights by brand and size. you may be surprised. for me the extra looks of the 285 were not worth the added weight and all the setbacks that come with it. everyone needs to make their own decisions on that.

i'm happy with the 265-75-16 duratracs. 3" OME 885 w/ top plate spacer, rear 2" AAL and extended OME shocks.

 

^^ Looks good!

 

Agreed, if I were to do it over, I woulda gone for a smaller tire, no doubt

 

thanks. you coming up to stafford this weekend for mods/wheeling? we will be installing an ultimate lift on a member's truck and then hitting some offroad trails. so far there are 4 of us.

 

Here is mine, 3in toytec with an aal in the rear. 285/75 Bfg km2.

 

what set up does the white one have Lift? Tire? I want that!

 

Why? I'm curious about an owners perspective. I'm not too afraid to do some trimming if necessary, but I'm hesitant about any sort of performance loss.

What is the typical MPG difference? Are we talking from averaging 18mpg w/32" down to 16mpg w/33" or something more extreme? The 18 might even be a bit inflated.

Does it have a noticable affect on the overall power/torque? If so, how much and in what way is it noticable?

 

The white one is mine. I have a "modified" lift up front with a 1" spacer and 885's and the tsb leaf pack + aal in the rear. The tires are 305/70/17 GoodYear MTR's.
