Unfortunately I don't think I have any pics of my truck when I had 295's with the stock suspension. If I did post some then neat! However I was looking the other day and couldn't find any. Searching on my name night work since I probably did post to threads about 295's.
All I can say is 295's on a stock suspension is doable, but it's tight. With my Kaymar sagging out my rear suspension I would bottom out on the rear while going over speed bumps with 4 passengers too fast. Of course if you aren't sagging in the rear you should be fine.
I think I just found a pic with 295's on my stock suspension:
Unfortunaltey it's only of the front, but it gives a good idea.

Wow, makes me wonder what kind of sagging I've got going on.....no mods here yet, and that pic shows more room than my new 285s have!!!
You sure that is a before pic?

Yeah, I'm now positive it's the before pic. I went from stock to J springs. Here is the after pic:
The truck is in a sloping driveway which could give it a little more gap in the front, but not too much.

Nope the rubber is covered by the flares.
Just curious, which one is taller 295 or 305?

Are you talking about 295/75 R16 vs 305/70 R16? If so, the 295s are taller.
In a comparison of 285/75 R16 vs 305/70 R16, the 285s are a fraction taller.

Not very good pictures, stock with 295 Nitto's.
They touched the rear wheel wells at full flex, but J springs fixed that
problem.

My truck is going to look weird when I put on the 33x12.50 with no lift
It'll look fine. 5 years ago, I ran 33x12.5's on stock springs and everyone thought that it looked better than 31's. I have to agree. The 33's look too small with the 850/853 combo. The 34 LTB's on the other hand...

Thats good to know. I have used set I'm buying off a friend for 100 bucks, 1 tire is crapped out but I'll just end up stealing the spair off his jeep that is part of the set
). Too bad their pro comp MTS and will wear out ina few months probably. Will they end up looking too small with a J springs and spacer up front?
