255x85x16+OME2.5="enough clearence?"

[daniel.watters]

I have a set of 255x85x16 km2s on order and also have a 45 series OME deluxe kit coming in..... probably not the best time to start asking questions but....
You guys think that there is enough clearance there? I think ome kits give 2-2.5 inches of lift. I think my tires are 33.3 inches tall. Should I get longer shackles for another inch or two? Thanks!

On my LWB I have a 2" spring lift in the front with a longer shackle on the back to even it out. I have a 33x10.50 tire and in full compression the front tires will rub the fender. The front DS tire also hits the end of the drag link enough to regularly rip the joint boot and also rubs on the back send of the drag link.

None of this is overly concerning to me, and the 255x85 are about 33x9.50 so it may not even be an issue for you.

You will be fine, I ran 33 12.5s with no problems even though my OME only netted 0.5" of lift in front over stock springs. I complained to OME and didn't even get a reply.
