I want to put Load Range E tires on my Ranger as part of suspension upgrades to handle a Four Wheel Camper in the back. Does the truck have adequate steering clearance in the front to handle the slightly larger 265/70/17 tires without a lift? I currently have the stock 265/65/17 tires. Thanks for your input.

I have the same tire size on stock suspension and it rubs on the crash bar
Try removing the plastic cover from the front crash bar. Then, loosen the bolts on the front and rear crash bars and angle them out of the way. Use a hammer if you need to. You might gain 1/4” more room. Then, button it back up.

Isn't that stock option size? I swear that thats what I started with from factory and no rubbing issues...maybe I didn't notice since I only had them on long enough to get home from dealership...

According to my tires, that's what they identify as too. Still on the original Bridgestones at 49,000 miles.

I have Yokohama AT3 same size on a super cab. No rubbing
Thanks for your input. This is mostly what people have said, but a couple of users did report a rubbing problem. Not sure what their circumstances were.

For a given tire size, dimensions may vary by manufacturer.
