It currently has 31's on stock suspension. I'd really like to go w/ 35's, but I don't think it would fit in my garage with them. It only has 7 ft doors. What are your opinions? Any pics of trucks w/ 33's?

**jaros44sr** · 02-09-2008, 01:19 AM

Big John, no pic.

bouncytruck · 02-09-2008, 02:01 AM

You could do 35's with a 4" lift is you don't plan on taking it off road much.

Pics of my truck in the signature link with 4" lift and 235/85R16's (about 31.5). It just barely clears the garage door with the top on.

"GQ" has a 4/6 lift and 35's (It sits level with the top on it)

Sorry, I tried doing a pic but it wouldn't take. What is URL? If you click on my sig you can see a larger pic of the ass end of my ride. Tried putting a profile shot in but it was denied. I'll keep working on it.

bigjohn7372 · 02-09-2008, 02:09 AM

If you get on National Tire and Wheel's website, they have EVERY POSSIBLE DIMENSION of the truck tires they carry. Check it out, they carry several different all terrain, mud terrian, mudder, bias ply, radials, you name, they can get it, with the measurements.

Here's a pic of your truck from your profile bigjohn7372

bigjohn7372 · 02-10-2008, 12:52 AM

THANKS...how did you do that?

bouncytruck · 02-10-2008, 01:27 AM

Copy the properties of the image (the url - I believe that is a right click function on a PC, but I'm a Mac guy so I can't tell you the exact path), then click on the

icon and paste the properties (url) of the image in the window.

For an image that is on your computer, you need to click on the "Post Reply" button at the bottom of the thread list and then use the "manage attachments" button. You can then search your hard drive to locate the images you wish to post. There are size requirements though.

A lot of guys use photo hosting sites like photobucket.com and then post images via the first method I listed.

epsorenson · 02-10-2008, 01:43 AM

33's and 4 inch (thinking about changing to 35's)

iliveintn · 02-10-2008, 02:13 AM

right click the picture, go all the way down to properties and then copy and paste the "Address (URL)" and then click the icon the above poster pasted.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 02-10-2008, 11:36 PM

I have 35'' mud kings mounted on a 15x12 fake alcoa wheels witha 6'' lift clears the garage fine..

epsorenson · 02-25-2008, 02:06 AM
