tires and flares
I've got a few questions for you guys.. is it normal for the front tires to stick out more thanthe rear? It seems like I'll need fender flares on the front but maybe not on the back. In hoping to have a 3 inch body and maybe suspension lift soon. What are my max sizes?

Re: tires and flares
Yeah the front tires appear to stick out more, and to my knowledge are spaced a little farther apart to improve turning radius, coupled with the front end of the truck narrowing it makes them stick past the fenders. Here is a pick of mine, I think 33's are the recommended size for a 4" lift so you could probably get a little more than that, as I have seen people clear 33s with just a little torsion bar cranking.
Here is a pic of my front tires. Hope that helps, if you run flares front and back, it will look fine, because that is how they where stock with factory flares. |

Re: tires and flares
If your trying to be cheap hit a junkyard some of the 4x4 trucks had small factory fender flares.

Re: tires and flares
Yeah the front has a wider track then the rear for some reason? I ran 1.5" rear spacers I believe, they were a little too wide in the back, I think 1.25" would match them up perfect. (I can't remember for sure tho, measure from edge of tire to fender to be certain)
Here is my old 3/4 ton, maxed out T-bars up front, 2" blocks out back, and rear spacers, on 33x12.50's and factory flares. |
