Re: Tire Suggestions

You're going to have to measure closely with the chassis at the lowest point in the suspension travel (depends on your rear centering device - a track bar or panhard bar can pull the rear pretty far over through its arc of travel). I had to measure with no tire and wheels mounted and ran my truck through it's full suspension travel, measuring at full height, drive height, and at its lowest to get my wheel backspace measurement that cleared everything, keeping in mind the section width of the tire size I wanted to run.
