    The highest I could go would be 4" with my 8" rim and 12.5 wide tire due to hitting the UCA.

    Remeber while the lt pushes the the wheel out and away from the frame where it mounts stays the same. It's still the same spindle and geometery there. So hitting the UCA would me my issue.

    If I have narrower tires I could do 4.5" bs like stock and 10.5" wide tires. A lot of guys do that or something similar. Most are around 4.5-4". Mine are 3.75 so it is a huge difference.

    Not sure about 1st gens but some of the 2nd gen guys have issues with the wheels/tires rubbing on the spindle as well if you have too much BS.

    It's all relative with the rim and tire combo.

    I know I'll ne fine as I had wheelers type bs which were 4" bs and 33x12.5r15s and cleared the UCA fine. Was the frame that Id hit.

    Lt should actually help me clear the tires better.

    I am worried I didn't go high enough though..

    Logan is one example that I know of. He is running 16.5" hummer wheels with 3.5" BS and had to add a 1/2" spacer to get the wheel off of the spindle.

    Yeah the clearance thing is one of the reasons why I want to wait until front LT before I step up in tire size. If I have to tub, I don't want to do it twice...

    Yea seems like they don't cut as much..so I'm hopeful..really hoping it'll let me rock 37s with no cutting haha

    Yea idk much about 2nd stuff for that..if the wheels are 10" wide though it makes sense to me.

    Yeah that's what I was thinking. 37's on Tundy axles would be like 35's on stock right? Not to mention steering? But I don't know much about this, just talking out of a$$.

    He's a bastard..

    Close Id think.

    I know a few truck running 37s on lt kits though that make me feel fine with it.

    35s I know I'll be good.

    Steering is an issue though. I already bought another backup rack :anonymous:

    I am going to start looking into options to beef it up. Build a rack slider is something I want to do. Double sheer heims too
