    So I plan on lifting my truck problem is I have covered parking. The lowest point is 78" the current highest point of my truck is the back rack which is 71 3/4. I planned on 3" in the front and 2" in the back. Also plan on going up to 285 75 16 from my 245 75 16. Am I going to be completely screwed?

    You will probably be ok, but yeah it will be close. Going from a 245 to 285 you are ROUGHLY going from a 30” tire to a 33” tire which means you will only gain ~1.5” in vehicle height from just the tires, so keep that in mind. Add in the lift kit and I bet you will be good.

    Why 3” lift?
    Are you aware that you should definitely get aftermarket UCA’s?
    Are you ready to trim and chop fender and liners in order to fit 285’s?

    3" lift on 33 inch Nitto's with 18" Fuel wheels. N-Fab step bars. Husky floor liners.
    Do the math. Looks to me like you should clear it by about two inches. You might want a shorter antenna. Mine catches hell in parking garages.

    I went 3" and 285's five years ago and still using factory UCA's. -12 offset 18" wheel and cut NOTHING. I took a heat gun to the plastic liner on both corners and rolled it back just a little and no rub at all.

    Through my sketchy math I figured I'd be good. Already swapped the antenna out a few years ago it rubbed going in then

    Anyone ever run into problems after lift and level. Vibration? Pros and cons?
