yeh i just went to look at my current tire visually and get an idea. the 285s are on it now, are a lil bit wide. 305 are deff not it. ill tell them what i want in inches and see what the #s convert to. thanks for the help. thinking 33-34in tall 10.5 wide or 265, 75,16 ????

255/85r16 sounds like what you want

 

[super40]

255/85 translates to ? in inches?

 

[cruisermatt]

33.3ish tall, 10ish "wide" (aspect ratio)

priced a set of tires at the truck show and thought they wee a bit high on $ so when i got home i checked on line and they were $245 less at the show than anyone else on line. so i drove back to the truck show and bought me a set of (5) km2 33.3in tall skinnies. whoo whooo.

front springs & shocks installed, both arms off to do the castor correction and in the middle of drilling/cutting the old bushings out. fri nite ill get to work on them and use the vice to press the new bushings in if that does NOT work ill be knocking on your door to use your press Matt. the folks over at SLEE said install of ome 2.5 in lift is supposed to be a 1.5 hr drive way job. im 3 hrs in and looks like at the half way point. if i got to to do it a second time id cut the time down significantly. everything is easier and faster after you've been there.

 

[cruisermatt]

Careful with the drill

i wear a cup, and a wielders apron&face shield, oven mitts, no pants, shoes or shirt to keep cool. front is protected and the back side stays cool. oh yeh you should call before you come by to avoid the visual trauma.
