    I have a 2008 TRD offroad 4x4. It still has the stock 265/70/16 BFG's. I would like to to put 265/75/16's on it which are about an inch taller than the stock tires. I have noticed that other people have done this but I am curious if anyone has had a problem with them rubbing while towing a heavy load? For example a 17 foot ski boat. THANKS for any help.

    I was running 265/75/16 on my truck without a problem. No lift or TSB. Although I never towed anything.
