Tire Size Question
Not too long ago i found out that i have 3:73 gears in the truck and not 4:56 lie we thought(thank god). Wondering if there is a recommended tire size for that to fill up the stepside fenders, not take the ratio way down, and not rub the front with 2 1/2 drop spindles. Any suggestions?

Re: Tire Size Question
235/75/15 - fills them nicely, is still a very workable ratio. Someone else will need to confirm no rubbin with 2.5 spindles though - but shouldn't be an issue. These will fit even the stock 5.5" rims too.
