anyone running 265/75/16s with a lift?

any pics?

 

Bilstein 5100 running the highest notch which gave me 2 inch lift up front and bilstein in the rear with 1 3/4 inch blocks. Running wild peaks at 265/75/16. No issues with harsh ride or drive train so no need for diff drop of shims and the like. Very happy with my set up, gave me a great lift without having to do a ton of small adjustments. I'll see about some pics.

 

Also interested in seeing this setup

 

I thought you could run those on stock OR suspension.

 

I have this setup currently. Check out my build thread in my sig.

 

You can run them at stock, 1 inch 1 3/4 and 2 inches. I chose to also keep my stock springs so no OME springs, just swapped the OEM shocks. Cost me 400 with all the hardware and also saved money as I did the swap myself. Here are some pics and I’ll get better ones I hope by this weekend for you guys to see.

 

Icon Stage 5 around a 2.25 or 2.5 lift with 265/75/16. Zero rub at full flex, full lock, good gas mileage and accel on stock gears. Keeps the truck sort of a sleeper too. But it goes anywhere.

 

Do you feel the shocks were worth the upgrade?

 

Absolutely! The clearance I got in combination with the the firmer ride and off road performance, I honestly love my set up. Especially when I don't have to worry about regearing, tune for better performance, I didn't lose that much in gas mileage. Especially when you get the tires it brings the look of the truck altogether. I couldn't be happier with the way my budget build came out.

 

Bilstien 5100 at top notch. 1 inch block in the back. Rides just fine for me.

 

Here's mine with the new tires and set up as well.

 

the icon comes with an AAL or full replacement?

I think 285s look kinda goofy on the truck. 265/75 imo are perfect with 2inches or so.

 

Here is my old truck with a 2/1 lift and 265/75r16s. I also ran them with no lift and they fit fine.

I honestly liked that tire size better with no lift.

 

This came with the Icon AAL pack. I also have a quarter inch shim on the axle between the pack. My overload spring is not in there so this pretty much is the same height as if I did.

 

Running 5100’s myself.. waiting for my stocks to wear out .. so I can upgrade to 265/75 16 ... wanting an aggressive tire that compliments the stock wheels or doing a complete wheel & tire setup w 17s

 

Yep

 

2.7" lift in the front, 4.0" lift in the rear, with 2nd gen TRD OR wheels

 

I believe @Stocklocker is running this size with a lift. Could be wrong thou. Have been before! Lol. He has a damn nice truck to always good excuse to get a few pics out of him.

 

265’s look perfect
