    HA! I used the search function ;) So you think you may have lost an inch over time? Along with a 10" wheel that might bring the height down a tad vs an 8.5?!?

    Bias or radial?

    I really liked how the radials did on my Tacoma. Didn't ride well or last long on the road, not sure they're worth choosing over the bias plies lol

    Thanks, but I'm good now. I ended up just buying Trepadors. As long as they are at least an inch taller than my current tires, I'll be content.

    Currently Roadone Cavalry 315/75/16's, but my options were limited for 16" wheels, so I couldn't get Radial Trepadors.

    Ah, I think you'll be much happier with the Treps. They'll have a much grippier compound than those and excel on the rocks

    Progress. Rear still needs to go 2” forward to be centered. Currently sitting at 27.5” frame height with 5” springs and 4” shackle.

    Personally, I think that's a good frame height...although some people seem to prefer the low rider stance.
