So, I've looked around on here for what I'm posing about in hopes I don't make another post of the same thing but I haven't found one.
I'm looking to install a 6 inch lift and stuff the biggest tires I can under it, I've put a 2.5 leveling kit on my 23 sport xlt and I've stuffed 285/70/17s on it with a little trimming but now I want to go bigger, has anyone here installed a 6 inch lift and what's the biggest tire you've fit under it?

2023 with Fox 2.5 3” lift, Camburgs, 305/17 34” tires….. disliked it for 2 years…. I just finished installing a BDS 6” lift two weeks ago. Now I need taller tires……. Weird, it’s not letting me post pictures right now!

Sheesh seems like big ass tires for not too much lift, I've got the equivalent to 33s on my leveling kit, I'd definitely like to see some pictures if you can get them to post eventually!

That close-up of the front right tire is when I had about 4 inches but I lowered it down to about three because four was kind of stretching the limits on the angle of the front axle.

Old pictures are three 3 1/2 inch lift with 34 inch tires. I ran it for two years that way, and did not like it Just finished installing the 6 inch lift two weeks ago and still have 34 inch tires for right now.

How are the front cv's handling the 6' lift? What about the brake lines? That's another thing I've been thinking about, I figured probably gonna need/want to find some extended braided lines

I thought it was a 3 1/2 it was done at the dealer before I bought it in MD but I have 8 inches between the top of the tire and the flare
