Fortunately I do. 40's fit great on 2.5" of lift.

I have 315/75 Duratracs on my 2.5" OME lift. It does rub some in off camber situations off road, but I think it looks pretty good. I can also park in my 7' high door garage with this setup and only the factory roof rack.
Skinnies on a 2.5" are perfect, the power steering feels like I put a turbo on it. These tires, bfg 255/85's KM2's are a safe tire for all terrain and don't have a lot of noise on the freeway. The best part is they are safer than most tires with the internal structure and material.
I did put some 1.5" spacers to push the tires out and am happy with the look.

Gonna get a 2.5" OME lift for the 450 that sits on 285/75/16 Swampers ND's for now, then 35's. Heavy/med seems the way to go, but it might be a little bit b4 I get a front tube bumper/winch combo that will weigh about 150-175lbs. Tube rear bumper a la bugsnbikes design. Will it be too rough a ride w/out the front armor? Will I need a mouth piece?
Nice rig, wondering what rims those areView attachment 1098168 I have 35" BFG MT K/O2 with OME 2.5". Is that enough code for you?
No regearing and no regrets on pavement. Off-road, I don't exactly "crawl" over rocks. View attachment 1098166View attachment 1098167
'33 perfect without regear
'35 might require regear

Thanks!
I don't remember the exact model number. But I do know they are 17" ProComp aluminum wheels. Flat black. I got a pretty good price on them during a sale last summer.
I love the flat black. I scratch them on rocks, and get home and shoot some flat black rattle can at it. All better!
Thanks for the info, they look great.think I know what rims I might get now [emoji1]

Honestly I think 33's with the 2.5" are perfect, at least for me. I have stubby legs, I can just barely slide a buttcheek over the seat to climb into the drivers seat and still look dignified. No climbing!
Heavies up front, mediums rear. BFG AT 315/75R16. 1" Spacer.
Didn't rub at all until I added the spacer. If I had a brain I'd remove the spacers, but I like the look too much

To be honest, I'm not sure. I bought the lift used from another mud member. It's definitely OME hardware, but I don't know the specs.

1 inch wheel spacer correct? I haven't heard much of any rub with them, it's suppose to reduce the chances of rubbing. BTW Where did you find that 80, this is the exact color I wanted. Trade for my LX450?
Yep, wheel spacer. Rubs on the front of the running board when in reverse and turning the wheels. I should probably switch to sliders.
Bought the truck from an accountant in Wilmington NC a few months ago. I can't imagine trading, I've put so much $$ into it I'd lose my shirt!

That color is amazing..
Here's my eye candy. Running 850 heavys in front 864 heavy stuff in back w/315/75/16 nitro dune grapplers w/tundra TRD wheels.
33's will take you freakin' everywhere, you don't need to regear your truck, it doesn't strain anything in any way, looks great...one tire (size) to rule them all.
