Just got back from wheeling

Had to try out the new tires. I didn't seem to have any rubbing at all. The new tires are 315 70 r 17 My truck is leveled in the front but that is it. I will admit that with the bigger tires the truck doesn't seem to pull in 4 low as well as it use to.

715/70/17...hmm i've heard a lot of tall tales in my day but this might be the tallest of them all...literally

anyways i assume you mean 315/70/17. you could always regear or go down a tire size or too.

Any pics?

Was a lot of fun but there were a couple parts that scared the crap out of me. I tried a trail that was a little to difficult was trying to back down it and my passenger tire kept lifting off the ground. I thought I was going to roll a couple times. Needless to say my pulse was very fast. The truck did great everywhere but there but I think I need skid plates. And some wider trails

Great lookin' pics, look's like you had it flexing pretty good. The tall tires do cut into your gearing and that's why it's not pulling as hard as a shorter tire. But in 4wheel low it's kind of hard to notice in my truck. Those pics look about as different as you can get compared to South Louisiana!
