1979 K20 pitman arm rubbing my 315/75/r16 - is this normal?

The 36" bias military tires will fit with a 4" lift. But they suck on the street. I just got rid of mine. They were exactly the same size as the 35" BFG MT's that used to be on the truck but the 8 lug swap needed larger diameter rims and the combo I found at the time fit the budget. The 37's will need 6" lift and maybe some trimming as they are a LOT bigger.

What gear is in the truck? 4.10 or 3.73? (or 4.56 for that matter if a CUCV donor).

3.73 would be fine with 33" tire and no OD and a 4.10 gear works for 35's just fine once again without od. If you have 4.56 the 37's would be OK, but 4.56 and 33's would be a lot for running around on the street. (Although that is the exact combination I am putting together for my '79 CJ5.

And maybe will see you around? Just noticed we are darn near neighbors.
