17" wheels 265 tires 3" or 4" lift (lift noobie)

I just hate when the tires look too small for the truck and lift haha which is why I just want to lift it enough to go off road with no rub and possibly add slightly bigger tires.

 

2" with your current setup should be fine. Slight trimming unless you're really flexing.

 

CMC is inevitable if you do even light off roading and go with a bigger tire.

 

Thanks for the replies everyone, apologies for being "that guy" and starting a thread instead of searching, I know we all hate them, I'm just wired on coffee and got excited when thinking about lifting this bad boy

 

Forgivable as you were a good sport about the Hawaiian bro lift kit comment

 

yes there is a wheel and tire forum,, and a suspension forum.........search and u will find the answer u seek...

 

Thanks I'll check it out!

 

Do a 2” lift 3 will give too much and cause you problems. Should be fine with 265’s. Looking at ur truck the tires fit it good.

 

Thanks for your input!

 

well until spring next year. my 265s will stay.

BUT 285s are coming

 

Fox 2.5 extended length 2" lift with dakars in the rear on a 265 70 17.

 

Not too small at all look very good and keeps good clearance

 

not enough ground clearance

 

How much of a difference would a 3" lift make, visually. Yours looks great.

 

I ran 265s on 5" lift for a long time. Didn't really matter to me. I took a lot of shit for it. But my truck ran and drove perfectly while retaining some 'decent' MPGs.

That being said, 285s are the perfect size tires for these trucks.

 

well...thats 2". so add another inch to the front.

Realistically though I don't care for higher as I don't want to carry much preload. I got this lift for more travel.
I also have more rake because I load up with a lot of weight in the back of camping gear etc when wheeling.

and fuck did I ever get travel lol.

 

Ohhh I like that! Nice truck!

 

Thanks, and you as well!

 

265/70/17 on a 2 in lift. Any higher and you'd want to go a bigger tire.

 

You better have a tough skin on this site..lol
