[QUOTE=thejake1989;3801502]new tires = new pics

Getting new big tires on the 2wd makes a world of difference. What the diameter of them? and how much did they cost alone just for the 4 tires?

yea it does. it just feels so much taller now and i can tell when getting in and out. gonna have to put my o'**** handle back on for the passengers. also my speedo is off buy about 8mph now instead of 6.
they are 285/75R16 and i got them used with about 65% tread for 250 with discount tire road hazards then mounted and balanced at discount for 80. plus sold my old tires for 220 so i made out pretty good.

If I were you I would doo a 2" BL or get a spindle lift and a block in the back. You rubber fills the wells a little too much. How bad is the rubbing?

i have the exact same tires on the exact same rims but i'm stock 4X4 height with no rubbing issues at all. looks great, but yeah, bump up your ride height a couple inches and it'll look even better.
