Question Newbie Question

OK, I tried searching for this with no luck. What is the biggest tire size you can put on a new SXT 4x4 without a liftkit or rubbing in the fenderwell?

Two other questions, any aftermarket skid plates available? where at and how much.

and..... Has anyone installed XM in their truck themselves? is it all that difficult?
Thanx
Ry

Surprised no one answered this. I was wondering the same thing about tire size. From what I could find during a search, 285/70/17 is about it. I am adding the 2" leveling kit to the front, and then buying those tires. Hope that helps

I have a 4x2 with a 2" leveling kit and I have Helo Maxx6 rims with Mickey thompson Baja ATZ 325/60R18 and no rubbing.These tires are 33"x13.5" I love them smooth ride and great traction. If you have a 4x4 youll have plenty of room for 35" with a leveling kit.

Does anyone have a picture of their truck with just a leveling kit and 35" tires? I'm just curious to see what it looks like. I'll try and search...
