Will my 305's look good under a 6" Fabtech?
Going to the shop today to order a 6" Fabtech (before the queen bee changes the green light). I am running BFG's AT"s- 305-16 on 10" Eagle Alloy's. Hoping these tires will be more than adequate for a nice balanced look under the 6" suspension lift. Swapping tires out is NOT an option at this point. Truck is a 2000. I HOPE to get my truck this clean again!
Here is an old picture with the then new tires/wheels:

x2 on what wandell recommended
They will look small but not horrible.
Id do the install, keep the tires if they are too small to bear then start looking for a USED set of 35's for really cheap. I got 6 36x12.5x16 TSL's for 50 bucks and they had over half tread. You got to look for deals.
craigslist is your friend. But it will look OK for the time being.

wandell and trimble- thanks. I had no intention of cranking the torsion bars. wadell mentioned cranking the bars untill I get 6" of lift. I guess he meant 8". wandell does not make mistakes, but I guess there is always a first time <grin>.
The truck sits level as stock, LESS than 1/2" difference between front and back. I was a little worried it might look a little goofy with the 305's. Spending some serious $$, so I don't want to be dissapointed.
I wonder if there are pictures of 305's with a 6" lift??
Hey trimble, I just got back from a Disney death march. Dude, it's hot down your neck of the woods!

The 6" and 33's will give you a TON of flex room.
The 6" and 35's will be plenty for normal offroad flex.

4.2Trimble, i set the torsion bars back to their original setting, i was getting too much noise up front, think the out of alignment was the problem, so until i get the new tires i'll hold off on playing with the tbars.
how much play would a fabtech 6" give up front, i know the rear i can swap out blocks and remove an added leaf spring, but up front is the only adjustment the torsion bar?

My problem is that I have 305/75/16 tires that have only about 20K miles on them. I love my wheels too. I was about to order a Fabtech 6" lift yesterday, but decided to wait a couple of days and do more searching for pictures. I guess the 305's won't look bad no matter what. I guess a lot depends on the truck too. I do not want a stuffed look like I have now, but don't want it to look weird. Wandell made a good point to me in a PM. He said since my wheels were 10", that should help.
