Throw a 1 inch body lift on and no rubbing at all. Then you don’t lose up travel with the bump stop extensions. I run Icon 3 inch springs up front and dobinsons 2.5” in the rear with 315’s and the body lift. Works great.

I guess not everyone is nice on the forums! Have a great evening. I wish you well.
Check out the clubhouse section of the forums (the link). Our next event is Meet-n-Greet in March near Uwharrie.
I had a 3.5" lift in the front previously. While only an inch higher than my current setup, it was way too tall and felt tippy offroad.
Dobinsons 2.5" VT-Series Dual Rate Long Travel Kit:
I'm running the 2.5 VT Springs and absolutely love them..
315/75/16 Trail Grapplers
No spacers, Extended brake lines, sway bar drop, read bump drops.
Tucks up perfect, no trimming required. Even with full armor (4xlabs dual swingout w/ tire, sliders, front bumper with 12k winch) she sits just as tall and rides just as nice.

If your tires don't rub, you can fit bigger tires.
Goodyear Duratracs are no longer available in 315/75R16, nor are the MT/Rs. I was going to purchase my 3rd set of Duratracs and had to choose another brand to stay with that size. I went with Toyo AT3s. Certainly not as aggressive a tread pattern as the Duratrac, but a decent all terrain tire.

This is my 80. I am Still searching for some wheels and tires. Or just tires.
If you plan to run 315’s, sticking with the stock wheels is a good plan. They are sweet looking and quite tough per my experience. But if you plan to do rock crawling it would be best to get wheels more suited to that because you’ll just beat them up until they have no value to anyone else. Plus the valve stems are subject to damage by rocks due to their location.

Thanks for the info my friend! I am still looking around. Found some 33s that might suit my 80 better. I do moderate off-roading. Nothing serious. Stuff like hurricane creek In my area. Not saying that I won’t get into tougher things I definitely will eventually. But for now my 80 spends a lot of time on the road. 33s might be a better option for now. All depends on what I find.
