For a few years, I have been running 285/75/16s. But that is on stock suspension.
I have just done the Dana 60 swap, and soon to add the RSK and SD springs. I already have some 315/70/17s mounted and ready to go. Yeah, I might be running into a gearing / too big of tire / fuel economy issue, but we'll see I guess. I'll get some pics as soon as I swap out the springs.
stock springs with a sky rsk....I run 35" procomp AT's on a 17x8 wheel
the rub some on full turn, but I can live with it...really wish I had some 4:10's though....

With the 3" RSK up front, do you only have the 4" blocks in the rear to level it out?
I also have the the 16x8s with 35s. I have not seen the MPG drop that much. I like the look and ride of the 35s (pics in the webshots link below). They do rub the leafs a little on tight turns.
I agree Frank, I can't bring myself to go back to 255's or 285's. It just doesn't look right, sure wish there was more selection of 35x10.50 tires out there except Swampers

I have a homemade RSK kit, Dana 60 w/SD springs. F350 4" blocks in the rear with factory overloads so mine is a little higher than some in the rear. My truck is almost level, when I forst got it together the front was a little higher but now its level to maybe 1/2 " down in front. I was on stock rims and 285/75, I just put on some 315/75 Maxxis Bighorn mud tires (I love them !) and some 16x10 allloy rims and I get a slight rub on the inner fender if the suspension is in compression and I turn. If I had put the axle a little more forward (It sits about 1/2" or so back) I dont think I would have any rubbing issues. I am going to lift the front 1/2" by putting the stock F350 spacer back. The SD springs didnt have it so I left it out. But the stock F350 springs did have it. I will post some pics tomorrow.
