yeah, i could. ill get the 285s if i go with 2 inch lift coils. the only problem is that i don't know if that will extend my shocks too much.

the lift coils will probably be too much for your stock shocks but you can get some longer ones for about 50 bucks.

a couple inches but it's just the stock keys which i think basically keep you from crankin them to far......might lower it a lil just cause i have tons of room when truning the wheel.


I agree with jake and it would be fairly cheap for new longer shocks....cause i think your truck would look incredible with 285' on it! I think you'd be happier with 285's over 265's too.

Man you dont even need a lift/leveling kit or anything to run 285's on your truck. As long as you keep the OEM wheels then you MIGHT rub on the sway bar(I think that is what its called). I ran 285's on a stock 2wd for a year and a half before I did anything to it. My truck rubbed on the sway bar at full steering lock which I usually never turned far enough to actually make it rub. Only time I rub really was backing down hills and such. Go with 285's and a $40 daystar like Jake is running if you are worried about them rubbing at all.

It is a stuffed look. Tell you what I got pics!



There was exactly 4" of space between the top of the tire and the fender with 285's on a stock suspension.
