fx4's and graps

Yes....that looks good... Although that pic is kind of shadowed around the tires. Got any more pics of that? Is that just with the autospring lift in front and 325's?

On the factory wheels? No, no, no! That's too far below the tire manufacturers recommendation. I have exact same tire and wheel combo as Larry and they do rub the lower control arm when turning all the one in one direction. I'm hoping an increase in tire pressure will alleviate this.

So your saying that size tire will rub without a lift? What's the biggest size you can fit then? 285? 315? I might have to get the lift because I like the 325's.

I really want to get bigger tires for my dad's truck, but the Nitto Grapler 325/60's kinda scare me on stock rims. The stock rim is 7.5" correct?
If they wont fit then I'm looking into Weld Dune PRO-LOC's in 18x8.5... http://www.4wheelparts.com/4wp/produ...D&expand=sub17

With the 2.5" leveling kit my dad's truck has would these tires rub at all?

I have the daystar leveling kit also (forgot to mention). I noticed the rubbing when doing a u-turn and then the black rubber scuffs on the lower control arm. Rare manuver but it does in fact rub under those conditions.
