First thing I did when I took my X home was to put on BFG all-terrain LT295 75R16's. Had to fine tune the bump stops to keep them from rubbing on leaf spring at full turn. Pretty good tire. looked pretty funny after I lifted it, so I sold 'em.

Not 100% sure about the suspension diff's between the XC and
the SD F250, but my new BFG AT 295/75/16's fit fine on the stock
rims w/o rubbing. Check my gallery for pix.

I believe he means he adjusted the 'stops' that regulate how far he can turn the wheel (can't remember what this is called - brain fart
).

Sorry Monsta for not getting back. Busy, busy.
Anyway, you know they are just cast in the assembly, right? Well I basically just added a homemade cup, or a big thimble that I swaged on the "finger" that bumps into the stop cast on the knuckle. That stopped the swing about .25" shorter to prevent the edge of those BFG's from rubbing at full crank. Of course, instead of a 50' turning radius, I had about a 60 footer :P
