    Getting a a spindle lift and not looking for my gas mileage to suck or cutting anything. Anyone have a 3 or 4 inch lift with this size tire? If so, pics! ! Im afraid 32s will look too small.

    32s with a 4" lift will look quite small IMO, I've seen a couple of people run 265/70s with about a 3" front lift and it looks fine.

    enough to go over stuff
    I have 265/70/17's with a 3 inch. check out my build below. It looks good and my milage hasnt suffered. Once I get a daily driver I will do 33s or 35's depending on how much money I have at the time. 35's require alot of prep to be done on the truck.

    I have a 3" OME lift, also running 265/70/17 BFG Winter Slaloms, in all honesty I don't think my gas mileage has changed at all, or if it has I haven't noticed it (xmas shopping screwed up my average). They also don't look like they belong on something small, IMO they "fit" the lift.

    Im running a mild 2.25 front and 1.5" rear lift with 265/70/17

    mileage seems the same honestly.

    I sometimes wish I went with a 255/75/17 , only a 1/2" taller overall but I think it would of looked alittle better.

    I have a set of 265/70/17 duratracs and a set of 255/85/16 maxis bighorns, and i get the same gas mileage with each, sometimes better with the 255's. gps verified.

    I hate my 265's but I use them now in the winter when I don't wheel as often just to try to wear them down and save the 255's a bit.
