    actually without the AAL.

    Like others said, I wouldn’t lift too much with 265’s. They will look silly because of how small they are IMO. If you want to lift 2-2.5” go for 33’s but you need a CMC for 33’s no matter what lift. CMC is a walk in the park, don’t be afraid of it! Odds are someone near you can knock it out in 3-4 hours for a few bucks.

    Evening, hope all is well.

    I will share my experience regarding the tires.

    You can run 265/70r16 with no lift. I have the SR5 Predator which has that tire.

    I have a 3/2 level and just put on 285/75r16. I did not need a cmc. I have not trimmed anything yet. I have not done too much driving yet, so not sure if I will need to. No rubbing yet. One thing that help was I went with a rim with a -6 offset. The 265 is a 31 inch. The 285 is 32.8 and looked much better in the wheel opening.

    Hey y’all, so I have had the 6112/5160 for 2 years now. Love it, have the icon AAL in the rear with my factory overload left in. The duratracs photos are a 265/75-16 which I’ve had since I bought the truck stock, put the lift and kept them. The STT pros are 285/75-16, required a CMC to clear, but my fronts are set to 5/5 each side. I’m about to upgrade to some fox soon, only issues I have are the rear shocks are both leaking within only have 30k on my truck, and they been on for about 15-18k maybe. But overall not bad, especially foe the price.

    Im on the 6112/5160 and do not NEED a CMC.... but yes I will be doing one. For guys just cruising the pavement, and with the right alignment, you dont need it.

    It would be interesting to see a truthful poll on here about who actually leaves the pavement and who doesn't.... I have my hunch on the answer...
