255/85 R16 Owners Experience

Here's a decent read. You can skip down to where they compare bias and radial tires in the construction section.

Just pulled this right from the link I posted above.

I miss that.

 

get banned for that type stuff these days....

 

Well.... Yeah, probably - but it would likely be a temp one.

One must sacrifice oneself for humor sometimes I guess.

 

Hello I have been searching Tacoma world for an answer to my question but I cannot find one. My current set up is Bilstein 5100's with OME 884 coils and a 2 inch aal. I am getting 2 inchs of lift up front but my rear lift has sagged. Ik stacking lifts isn't usually a good idea but if I buy light racing ucas, a 2 inch non preloading spacer, and a 2 inch block for the rear would I need anything else? In theory I think that it should work and I will receive 4 inchs of lift. But my question is would I also need to buy extended break lines, new bump stops, and a differential drop kit? I am looking to be able to run 255/85r16 km2's without rubbing so I need more lift. If anyone has done a similar setup before or you have experience with lifting and you can answer my questions I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

 

Whiskey tango foxtrot.

 

You'd be able to run that tire with the lift you have. Just have to cut some plastic up front and remove front mud flaps probably

 

4" of lift up front is a bit too much for your CV's axles without a drop bracket. It would ride like a tank because you wouldn't have hardly any down travel.

 

There's no "probably" about it if he's running stock wheels. No cutting required. If you don't know for sure, why respond to the question? Having to wade through garbage posts is the primary reason lazy people don't bother to read the whole thread.

Just in case anyone hasn't seen it before in this thread - you can run 255/85-16 on stock wheels with no rubbing. You'll need to pull the mud flaps but you'll want to do that anyway. YOU CAN DO THIS AT STOCK RIDE HEIGHT. No lift required. None. Nada. I did it and several people before me have done it. I thank the trail blazers who took the time to post in this thread every time I take my truck out on the trails.

 

Here is mine with 255/85/16 cooper st maxx, no rubbing so far. I was able to keep the mud flaps with no problems.

 

Yes, there is "probably".

How do you know what stock wheels he has? Maybe he has a special Texas edition with shitty backspace...

How do you know what specs he will get it aligned to? Caster matters big time.

I don't give to shits about lazy people and their lack of effort. Thats on them. The guy askinbgthe question obviously is a lazy person because he started a thread and I stopped in there and gave him a link to this thread and told him to read it and ask any unanswered questions... what does he do? Copy and paste the same shit that was in that thread in this one.

and you seem to be clueless. you can't run these tires with stock wheels and NOT rub. I rubbed with 265/70/17's how the hell do you think these won't rub? The key is where you rub, is it bad for your truck/tires, and what needs to be done to fix it. I rub frame HARD and it doesn't matter. I also rub in other locations all that are A-OK to me. Others may not like it and need to cut plastic to be happy.

Every truck is also different.

I'm glad your happy with the tires and thankful to the people before you, but thats no reason to flip out on a guy just trying to help who knows his shit.

 

2" top plate spacer paired with your 2" lift coils will be too much lift. Maybe get the 1" top plate for a total of 3" lift up front. As for fitting 255/85/16's you should be ok on stock wheels but May or may not have to trim, depends on your wheel specs. I didn't need to trim for daily driving but when I first flexed I noticed a couple spots, especially at full lock.

As for the rear, a new leaf pack is prob the best way to go, or maybe a progressive AAL, or even the chevy spring AAL. But if you want to use a block then I'm sure it will work and get you what your wanting. The quality may suffer a bit.

 

Too* Asking* You're*

Actually, "two"...but whatever.

 

Well that plan backfired. I'm gonna go put on my dunce hat.
