Haha i know what you mean, there's a guy that drives around town here with a 90's suburban that i'd say has around 6" or bigger lift thats running stock wheels and tires. I laugh every time i see it drive by. In my eyes if you cant afford the tires, dont put the lift on until you can.

hell, i dont even use lifts. my exploder is sittin on 31x10.50s mounted on factory rims, at probably a little less than factory ride height. not only that, but despite everything ive seen, heard, or read, says you need a lift or to do some decent trimmin for em. did i? nope. do they rub? nope. can i fit 33s in the same form? hell no. but itd be fun to try. lol.

How about 35s with no lift. Yeah, it's a 350 and I had to trim the bumper. I still think they look a little small though.
FYI: The H2 rims have too much backspacing. I'm using spacers now to get the tire away from the springs and will be getting new wheels this summer.

F3fitty: So are those BFG all terrains with a Goodyear MTR retread?
And i went to do some trimming this morning and my grandpa gave me a good idea to just loosen the bumper bolts and see if i can adjust it forward. And sure enough lossened the bolts and it moved about a half inch forward. They do not rub at all, unless i hit a pretty hard bump then they rub on the fenders but not very bad so all is good=]
Went up a pretty darn steep mountain this morning to test them out and i didnt slip a tire ounce, but my buddy spun out about halfway up with near new yokahama geolanders on his 72 ford.lol

oh i knew 35s would fit on a 250 or 350 with no lift if you trim the bumper. buddy of mine in hs did it. mounted em on the factory rims with the hubcaps. looked kinda badass actually...

Hate to burst your bubble on those BFG(they suk), but I hope you dont have to use 4x with them tires on...b/cause they suck....tried to just drive thru my yard last night and started spinning out of control. I had been making this same trip on my 33's for 7 years but the BFG give up after only a few feet....now I have to go get the tractor out in the morning

Huh...thats pretty crazy, i never took em through deep deep snow yet but i had it in about a foot of snow today and didn't spin a tire, even had em on some packed snow going up a pretty steep mountain and still didnt spin a tire. Your yard must have a ton of snow or something.lol
