Can anyone tell me how much I would need to lift my truck to run a 325/80/16? Would that be too big? Opinions needed and i was wondering how would you go about lifting a 2wd? All help appreciated. Thanks

"still kinda confused, so i have to run 73-87 stuff?" Yes
"mine is 3/4 ton if that makes any difference." No
"Can i run 35 x 12.5 tires with the stock height?" Only with a brief sawzall session!

To run 35's you either need lift or cut lots of fender.

ok. haha. how much should i lift it in order to run the 35x12.5's? I have leaf springs in the rear so i can just put some blocks in right?

My son runs 35's w/3.5" blocks, may have another set to sell. Interested?

That's a pretty tall order, pun intended.

I'm running 32 inch tall tires on my 3/4 ton and it has heavy lifting springs on the front. There's no way you could run 3 inches more tire than I am without true suspension lift over and above the springs like the Fabtech stuff mentioned.
