So was talking with SoCalSuperDuty03 today and figured out that I have a 4 inch lift instead of just a leveling kit so if I wanted I could fit 37's. So if I wanted I could get them military tires I want and not worry about clearance.

What size tires do u have on your 4 inch lift???

 

I keep hearing you talk about those military tires, but i have no clue what youre talking about.
Link or something?

 

100Dollarman - Tires!

 

Oh damn thats pretty awesome! 100 bucks a tire isnt bad at all for 37s

 

They just look really tough to me. I know dude Rollin the 49's and likes them. Yeah 100 isn't bad especially when other tires are over $300

 

Ruben you must have misunderstood what I was saying.... You need a minimum of 6" to clear a 37" tire, and that is only if you use a quality spring.

Some 37" tires that have aggressive blocks will hit any way. To clear a 37" Military style tire without some kind of fender modification you will need an 8" spring.

If you read back through what I said, 315/75/16 (or 315/70/17 if you have a 17" wheel) is the largest tire you can run on that truck with a 4" spring.

Remember what I said about those tires too.... they are noisy, you can't balance them effectively even with a balance bag, they wear like crap, and they handle like crap on pavement, especially wet.

There is a reason those tires are $100 a pop.

 

If you live in a hot, dry climate like Phx. Or Tucson, where it does not rain than consider those tires, I have run them for years but I keep it parked if it's wet as the compound is VERY HARD and it wears poorly! Around 10k is the best I've ever gotten! Also keep in mind they have no DOT approval and are labeled FOR OFF ROAD USE ONLY ^so you can be red tagged just for rolling with them, I never have had a officer take a second look but I have always been nervous!

ok yes i miss understood you then. 315's are basically a 35 right? and i know about the tires i have to have them though lol maybe i will just have them as my extras lol.

 

I agree wholeheartedly Jim! I have never seen anyone get more than 10-12k out of them, assuming they can live with them that long! They remind me of old school Interco's that were J-U-N-K!

 

Yes Ruben, 35x12.50

 

Yes very similar to the old tsl's, I get them from a surplus contractor friend and pay around 20.00 a piece right now I've got the bfg BAJA TA but they just say bf goodrich twice on the sidewall and blank on the other side, I've got a bunch of t111's too for after tnese wear out there great in this climate but LOUD AS HELL you seriously can't hold a conversation at anything over 45mph... & that's not an exaggeration, these BAJA TA's are supposed to run a lot longer on pavement supposedly as good as civilian tires, Ann they are just as quiet, but hard compound and very squirrley in the wet!
