    Thanks guys. I haven't done much wheeling in the past...but that's about to change. The sliders seemed to me to be the first thing I needed considering how naked my rocker panels are right now. I want to get some 265/75 tires because I'm told that's the biggest I can go without making any mods.

    Yes, 265/75/16 are the limit before cutting. However, 265's will likely rub on mud flaps.

    Also... get a bed mat if you don't already have one. I think there's a recent thread about those.

    I have 285/70R17 and do not rub and have not cut anything but it requires adjustable UCA’s like the SPC’s. The bed mat is worth every bit of $125.00. The other nice add is hood struts. Makes life so much better when working on or cleaning the engine bay. I went with the Spiker Engineering (100.00) but the Redline one work great too.
