Did you measure a specific part on the body on both sides to ensure it was level side to side or does it not matter?

I've got 285/70/17s on my 2wd and they fit just fine. I do have a leveling kit though. But your 4x4 should fit fine stock.

I've got a set of 305/70/17's on mine with just the torsion bars cranked. They rubbed a little but that was with 9" wide wheels. On stock wheels I would imagine you would have very minimal rubbing if any.

305/70/17 Buckshots on factory 17x7.5 wheels, paid $660.00 new and cranked the torsion bars and added AAL. Rub the frame at full turn on front but minimal. Rear cleared fine without the AAL.

On a level surface you can measure from the grong to the top of the wheel opening if it is level now you should be able to just crank them the same turns and it should still be level.

Hey I have 02 fx4 I'm wanting to crank the torsion bars up on to level out my ride. I was wondering have you had any issues since you did and also how many miles you've put on since then. Thanks
