Picture request

Girlfriends truck is going to get lifted. Already bought a weld on shackle hanger in a 2.5" width and some 1/4" offset shackles for it for the front. Going to flip the rear shackle hangler and get longer ones if needed. Will probably get new ones anyways since the rear is designed for tension, not compression.

Anyways, we are going to do 35s. Already has 285s on it and is OK with mileage and power is relativly unaffected so it will be fine. Cant decide on wheel size.

Toyo M/Ts on 18s or 20s. Would like pictures of any 35s on 18s or 20s if you wouldnt mind. Thanks

Here is my 35's with 18's, it is a good combo I think. Some on current truck and some on previous truck.

I went from stock size (31's) to 35's and my mileage went from 16mpg on my commute down to 11.7mpg. Running 285/75R16s (33's) has given me the best mileage. The 35s definitely look better but that with the mileage loss, they were taken off after 1 week and sold the next. Just some food for thought.

Thanks for the input. We have never had stock size on this truck. Had almost new 285s on it when we bought it. Still running them, and the mileage is already awful. We are banking on that 35s that be much worse then what we are getting now (closer to 10).

My profile will not let me post attachments but the small picture in my sig is my truck with 3.5 inches of lift and 295/65/20 tires on stock 20 inch rims. The tires are right at 35.4 inches tall according to the specs on Nitto's website.
