how much lift

just wounder about what the lift would need to be on a 2000 250sd 4x4 with x springs to get these not to rub toyo open country AT LT355/60R20 125R. the tire measure about 36.8 " or if anyone could tell me what the best tire that will fit under the truck none lifted also.

I would put a 6" on for anything over a 35" tire. 8" for over 39"s.

I might do a 4" with 35"s on my truck still haven't decided yet though.

I'd go 6. I have a 6.5 inch with 37's and it rubs only when full lock left/right with some articulation.

At minimum to run those Toyo's a 6"......and you may still experience slight rubbing depending on wheel selection and the 355mm width. 7-8" lift would clear them better.

Biggest tire for a stock truck with x springs would be 33/12.5 IMO.


Hope this helps.

Put Bushwacker Cutouts on with no other lift since you already have the small lift from the x-springs.

If I had known how much larger the openings would be with my cutouts on I would have just run the above setup with my 38 PJs with my x-springs and no additional hanger lift.
