    Wranglers I assume? And thanks for the comments on tire size, I’m completely sold on going 75’s.

    I think after reading a shit ton of literature and reviews that I’ve decided on Toyo AT3 but not sure on which specs from there.

    - ICON UCAs, BP51/Kings, SCS wheels, 285s, Leer 100XR canopy. Greenlane aluminum winch bumper, Smittybilt X20 winch. Trying Falken AT3w now, Really like BF KO2s.
    I live in British Columbia and have had KO2s in the past, zero issues in the rain. I do have a canopy for a couple extra hundred pounds weight in the bed.
    Running Falkens right now, they are fatties, heavy compared to most tires, but I got them cheap. Pretty bad when an AT tire weighs more than a MT tire haha.

    This lists the Toyos in that size
    This will show what tire pressure works for your load, towing.

    Thanks!

    When checking tire load, am I retarded in adding up my truck’s weight, plus tongue weight of the boat that I tow sometimes, and dividing by 4? Worst case the tongue weight is all on the back tires, either way I’m well under the individual tire max load. I see no reason to go with LT’s for that reason…

    Far as I can tell I’ll be getting

    they say 2” max front lift. Running used Icon RXT rear set to op3. Thought about switching to op2 but that entails sag to 1.75” I think under 200lb which would be just the weight of the shell and doesn’t sound smart to me.

    it would need cutting. Just cut the fenders again.

    stock non cut fender and non cut flare don’t look good anyway.

    Yeah I hear ya, I was really excited about the 255/85/16 AT4W until I saw how heavy the tire is and that it’s only a C load. For that weight I would expect to have the added protection of an E rated tire/sidewall.

    Also the best tire you can get for the money,so there are trade offs.

    Mmmm debatable fairly long list of tires ahead of them.
    If I’m looking for an AT tire heavier than a MT tire I’ll buy them.
