    I guess it is kind of an odd size......most run 285/70 17's. Any reason why you are specifically wanting 75's and not 70's?

    the 34s looks PERFECT on the 3” lift imo, i had 33s in a 1.5-2” lift before but when i went to fox 2.5s with the 3” lift and the 33s looked too small


    and 35s look too big and don’t give it the proper proportions i think look good, not to mention all the other hassles that come with trying to stuff 35s on

    In all honesty, I agree with you. And to each his own. I personally look at the practicality of it knowing that a regear is most likely necessary, more wear and tear on a daily driver (if it is for you) and more needed permanent modifications that can not be taken off such as cutting or CMC. Looks are one thing but how the truck runs is another. A hooker can be the most beautiful woman in the world, but she might have more diseases than a hospital.

    I would wager a professional hooker is cleaner than your average bar ho.

    I would rather have a used truck that was well maintained and documented by 4 previous owners than a 1 owner maintained by someone who never changed the oil or took care of it.


    Wait, what were we talking about?

    Agreed.....lol......my point is, know exactly what you are getting yourself into, ponder the pros and cons, and be willing to accept the consequences whether those consequences be positive or negative.

    Oh yeah for sure. Although I think 34"s are a weird tire because they're going to have more wear and tear than the 33s, but with not much benefit in terms of size. I'd rather stick with 33s or go up to 35s.

    Kind of my point exactly.....but like I said, to each his own, good luck with the rig sir! Can't wait to see it after they are on.

    i already have 34s on it but was just thinking of going to a MT for more traction on the trails, but it seems like KM3s don’t come in that size so oh well i’ll stick with my KO2s.

    but as far as best of both worlds looks aside 34s are the way guys! bigger tire =better off road, get over obstacles 33s struggle or can’t get over. yet having less wear and tear and mods needed to run 35s!

    you can’t go wrong! high class hooker or not lol

    nice! I will prob go back to 285/75/17 from 315/70/17 I currently have. How much are they measuring on the rim in reality? the 315's run small. supposed to be 34.4 but actually measures 33.5 ish

    If you get a chance would be curious what real world measured height is since my KM3's measure almost .75-1" shorter (cant recall but was 33 and change for a 34.4 tire)

    i know my KO2s were spot on with what bfg said but i guess i’ll have to measure and see for myself but they eye ball to be about the same size as i’m used to seeing as a 34



    and this is the only other pic i got at the moment

    gotta snap some more pics of that beast.

    I’m with you. 33s were a bit too common and not quite big enough for this truck, 35s were a bit too much work for me at this time. 34s are great compromise :cheers:
