285/75-16's are 33" in diamiter. Many of us run them on stock wheels, though I understand wider aftermarket wheels impove handling.

I just installed 295s (33.5") and they fill up the wheelwell nicely. I'd like to go bigger but don't have the $$ to get new rims right now.

My 285/75-16's are spec'd at 32.8" tall.

Check my photo's below. I have 295's.

Keep in mind that I have X-springs and 4" blocks in the rear, though.

yes - thanks - definitely make s a difference. Did you do the shocks also? ride improvement?

Gumbeaux · 05-07-2008, 10:33 PM

Did springs and shocks all at once so while I can't say for sure one did more for the ride than the other, I'm 99% sure it was mostly the springs. I've done shock swaps before w/o changing springs and it's just not that much difference. I've even gone the Bilstein route on my old F250 and to be honest, I just don't think they're that much different from any other shock out there. I have pro-comps on now, if for no other reason than they have a lifetime warranty and their customer service is very good.

Was that an over all 4" lift then, or is it more like a 2.5" leveling kit plus rear blocks.

I want to put Nitto Dune Grapplers (305/70R16E) on my 2002 Ex and I am pretty sure I'll want to raise it at least 2.5".

Here is my 2005 with Modified (Caryt) B's and V's with leveling kit. Overall just shy of 4 inches. Bilstein Shocks and 33.5x13x20 Toyo Open country. The first pic is of the truck in WA state before the road armor bumper. The rest is with the new bumper in Kodiak AK.
