    What are the specs on your wheels? That'll dictate if you rub your UCAs or not.

    Like the look and especially with those tires. Would those tires be a problem if I were going to pull a small camper a few times a years?

    Im on the fence of choosing between these to options and I lifted the truck ~2.5”.

    Looking at your photos you can’t tell too much of a difference between the two as gas size goes. Plus I have only seen most 275s to be in Load Range E and I believe Falken’s Load C is ~58lbs.

    Would you recommend going with a 265 or 275? Thanks man I appreciate any help

    my 11 taco dcab, had 285/70/17 Falken wildpeak AT when i bought it. On 1.25" spacers. 2.5" Bilstein lift no frame/body mods that i know of as i bought it used. minimal rub occasionally on the front depending on how aggressive the turn obviously. those tires were fabulous, i bought the truck used, the set up was already done, i put another 50k miles on the wildpeak AT's absolutely no issues, EXCEPT... mpg... I figured a v6 would garner somewhere around 20, boy was I wrong. 16-17 highway if i'm lucky. Now this is where things get interesting. I dropped it back to stock 265/65/17 on stock rims. almost no change in mpg. So then I added JBA headers (opened the cats exactly to od of headers) tied to stock exhaust, silver bullet throttle body spacer and an after market MAF...got quite a bit of low end torque but mpg's with Sultan of Spark coils on E3 plugs, gained 1.5 mpg highway. Consistently averaging 18 mpg, i mean i get exactly 325 miles on 17 gallons of gas. I just pulled the stock clutch fan and installed a pair of mishimoto electric fans as to try to cut parasitic drag from the engine, too soon to tell what the mpg will be (if any). As well as will be installing an electric water pump, the point to all this, is im hoping to get bigger tires too. I have a brand new set of 17x8.5 rrw rv-5 w -12 offset waiting to go on. just tryna figure out what size/type tire. i'm thinking with the factory 3.73 gears that a 32" tire is the best compromise for look, lift and drivability. fortunately its only a weekend driver vs daily. bfg's definitely a no go, im stuck between the wild peak, nitto, yoko, or st maxx...there is definitely a difference in offroad performance between the 285/70 and the 265/65, both work well but the 285 crawls over stuff a lot easier,
