Thanks for this great information! I'm getting ready to get some new shoes.

Any thoughts on whether this size will fit on stock AHC suspension and stock bumpers? For that matter the whole truck is stock for now.

Thanks,

The truck I pictured second with the 305/60/18's.....that is stock. I think they 305/65/18 will fit tightly. Lift is pretty overrated on these rigs.

Sleeoffroad.com makes a switch that will keep you in the HIGH position. That for sure will work.

Thank you, I was concerned about the tire rubbing the upper A-arm. Since the 305/65/18 is the same width all's good. I knew about the AHC switch, but plan on having Slee remove the AHC and put springs and shocks on in the next month or so but wanted the tires on before I get over to Slee

Thanks again for this information, I appreciate it!
 
That size wasn't on my radar but those look great. Sub'd to see if anyone ends up running with TV UCAs and has proper clearance.

How well does the 65 profile conform to obstacles? I realize it's still the height of a 33.5", just wondering if the tire structure is pliable at that size combo?

Out of curiosity does it have the snowflake?
 
Certain sizes of KO2s meet the DOT snow tire certification standards and have the snowflake symbol on the sidewall.

New here maybe I missed it but besides a torsion bar twist is the rear lifted at all? I just picked up a 100 series and keeping in the power band is a big concern of mine since this thing already IMO lacks it haha. I don't want to go too tall and lose power

Yes. It's lifted about 3"

That said, you can run 285's and get a full fender well look without a lift and keep most all of your power.

3 inch lift is what I wanted to do. I planned to reindex the stock torsion bars and get ome springs. I don't haul and most I tow is my seadoo. It'll be a mall crawler for the most part for a while

I just had some 305/65/18 KO2's installed on my 100. I have been running 295/70/18's......I never really loved these tires. They were a bit too tall (34.5") and a bit too narrow (11.25") for my needs.

While I was at it, I decided to raise my truck a bit.

I replaced the OME866's with some Slee Heavies. The ass went up 1.75" so I raised the front a bit to have a .75" rake rear to front.

Yep. Go for it. If you have the extra money pony up for their shocks too
 
I have the Iron Man Pro. I think they are not a fair comparison to OME shocks as they are 2x bigger and more expensive and almost impossible to find.

I have a thread on them.

Slee's custom shocks are the bomb. I just wanted to take this jump before I spend that much.
