every once and a while I submit to my human form to roam the earth and post on the interwebs. This is the rare occasion where it is possible I could be wrong.

that kit should have everything you need, complete bolt on, i do find it weird that they advertise that it will allow you to run a 33x12.50. you can do that stock, and with this kit, you should be able to fit a 35

A 285 is pretty much a 33x11.50. 305/70 is a 33x12.50, you already have bigger than you want to do on there... LOL
With a 2" lift you should be able to fit a 35(315) easily. I have them on my PSD with no lift at all, and 80-86 trucks have more room in the wheelwells.

ok, i jsut went and double checked the size and it is a LT235/85-16

edit: according to this page i found a 235/85 is about a 32" tire...(btw WTF is up with people use "TYRE" that **** pissed me off to no end) so im probably gonna bump it up to a 285 but thats all...i also need to figure out what trans gear i need...at 35 MPH (gauge) im doing 50 MPH road
