    I'm sure this HAS to have been covered in a previous thread, but I can't seem to find any. Looking for pics and tire size recs. Thanks a TON, guys.

    Clayshutr, looks like you may be my best/only resource at this point...If/when you have the time. Thanks, in advance

    1. That's a 3" lift right?
    2. Any rubbing issues?
    3. How much of a mpg hit?
    4. Lastly, from your experience, best tire combo with that setup?

    Hope all is well.

    It's bilstein 5100 with ome 882's so what ever that equates to with about an extra 240 lbs on the front end. 2.5" ish.
    slightly rubbed along the rear of the fender well under full stuff, had pinch weld smashed and plastic trimmed.
    15ish mpg.
    I switched to scs f5's with 255/80/17 and liked it much beter than the 285/70/17. still had same rub but that was due to offset... tire was stmaxx.
