    You don’t know the half of it.

    So let me give you some free, unsolicited advice. There’s plenty of threads to be an asshole, on purpose. A new members thread is not one of them. Lucky for you, it wasn’t the OP.

    Looks like I have a new MVP..see you around brah.

    I guess that depends on what you call problematic... 265s will be more fuel efficient. 285s will look more aggressive and will fill out your truck nicer. They will also put more rubber on the ground which is a good thing (traction wise).

    most people on here always end up going bigger. That’s not to say that 265s don’t work, but most end up upgrading.


    With 285s, lift/wheels you plan on going with, there would be some trimming of the fender liner. With a good alignment you can get away without having to do a CMC, especially if you don’t do any heavy off-roading.


    only modification required (if you don’t off-road heavily) would be trimming some plastic, which is not a big deal. Really isn’t. Even the CMC is not a big deal.

    I suggested skipping the eibach because the 5100s are adjustable. They were engineered to lift your truck just as is. Saves you some money.

    Lifting your truck on 265/70s won’t look right. Like a guy that goes to the gym and never trains legs.

    My opinion is that 9” rims are a touch too wide for 265 tires. You might have rubbing issues due to the wide rim and modest backspace.

    17x8 0 offset will widen the stance a little. You could get more aggressive with -10 or -20 offset but you might start rubbing again.

    Not sure how many miles you have on your truck or how it been used and/or abused but before deciding on AAL or block take a look at your rear leaf springs. If they are flat I would encourage you to look into a full leaf replacement. Yes, they are more expensive but as you’ll hear around here “buy once, cry once.”
