DetroitDan,

The tires are stock 235/85/r16. It's a 2.5" lift with new leafs up front and blocks in the back. I would of thought that it would need bigger tires with the lift, but they fill up the wheel well ok in my opinion. I wouldn't mind wider tires when these wear out (it will be a while though as they are nearly). I pull a 5th wheel and do not want a tall truck for towing. This seems to be a good compromise.

Greg

Greg, thanks so much. I am planning on going with 235/85s, but I was worried that they wouldn't look big enough. I've got a 4 inch lift to put in, so I'm thinking I'm going to be happy with how it looks. Your truck looks bigger than 2.5 inch and 235/85s, to be honest with you. Right now mines all stock with 215/85s and it looks really low. The stock front springs have a reversed arch to them, so I expect the 4 inch to pick it up a lot.

crewcab longbed is 164.5" and you have to remove 14" to make a short bed
