Did you do the install yourself?

I saw on another post one of the suspension vendors is selling is some that are kind of angled to add more clearance for tires. Can’t remember which vendor though .there is talk about modifying the crash bar. cutting or shortening. are there any how-to's on this?

You will most likely have to remove the crash bars. I put Fuel Tactic 18 x 9 with Toyo tires, you can remove the crash bars without cutting by loosing front bumper.With a 2.5" leveling kit, do you think I could run 275/70/18s?
You can remove the crash bars without removing the front bumper? Could you let us know how? Everyone who has posted has said that they cut them off because the bumper gets in the way. From when I've peeked in the wheel well it looks like the bumper gets in the way too.You will most likely have to remove the crash bars.

Doug, I took mine to a tire and rim shop, they told me they loosened the bumper and pulled them out, they handed them back to me.You can remove the crash bars without removing the front bumper?

That's good to know! Thanks for the reply.Doug, I took mine to a tire and rim shop, they told me they loosened the bumper and pulled them out, they handed them back to me.

That's the same size I want as well. Already have the Bilstein 6112's for the front and hoping to just replace the crash bars with a BDS kit. Would be nice to not have to mess with the crash bars though.Anyone try 275 70R18 yet? Im putting on a fox 2.5 kit and will be getting bigger tires.
After looking into more I don't know if it'll work without fully removing the crash bars. I'm willing to buy aftermarket bars but not fully remove them and have nothing. Im also debating 265/70R18 and 285/65R18. Both those have a diameter of 32.6 instead of the 275/70 R18's 33.2 diameter. I do believe that a 32.6 would be fine with the crash bars.That's the same size I want as well.

Agree, that may be the way to go.After looking into more I don't know if it'll work without fully removing the crash bars.
