Cooks 2000 4x4 build with some BS

D6XL

 

Well if you're going over rocks, I'd say no. That inch will help a ton. Scraped my cross member a couple times while others in 285s never did

 

I dont really plan on going over too many big rocks. Im also thinking the 265s might give me some mpg back if i swap back to my old rims

 

Then go that route. You'll get a little bit back and won't have a need to regear after you add bumpers. Not something I'd do but it's your truck your wallet

 

The 33x12.50s just seem to wide to clear stuff on the inside with only a 2.5" lift

 

Are you rubbing anything now?

 

Just a bunch of plastic stuff on the inside and that's with no flex. I'm gonna flex it out sometime soon tho.

 

Well cut that plastic! It's nothing

 

Its a little bit of other stuff too lol

 

Hammer down!

 

Idk its pretty bad when i back up and i wanna be able to wheel on trails

 

Cut/trim and hammer down and you're good

 

Idk im really torn cause idk if i have enough lift and i think the tires are too wide for when i stuff them

 

Lift does not matter for clearing tires. It clears tires at ride height but the suspension still cycles the same way up and down. No matter what your going to have to cut and hammer things to fit your tires.

 

Its mainly the tire width that im worried about

 

Okay, so if it's the width your what rubbing on your frame? Get some wheel spacers. What tire size

 

The new one, D43XL would be a better option for you then. The D6XL is only good for 60lbs while the new D43XL supports 220lbs.

 

Wheel spacers will make the rubbing worse

 

How else would you stop rubbing the frame?
