Bigger Profile in Front?

[TerryW]

I'm wondering if running 75 profile tires in the front and 60 profile tires in the rear would handle ok. The purpose would be to get 1" closer to level (raising the front) without changing any hardware. Would appreciate any experience or expertise based advice about this.

Weird way of curing the problem, but,
2 wheel drive....should be OK.
4 wheel drive.....nono. I have always been told/advised that all 4 tires should be not only same size, but preferably same brand/model/tread to avoid problems with the 4 wheel drive set up when engaged.

Never on a 4x4.

I wouldn't do it period! It will have an affect on abs braking it will have an affect on steering and handling. It's just not a good idea. Either live with the rake or install a Leveling kit. Be safe!

WOW....I totally forgot about the ABS when I posted it might be OK for a 2 wheel drive.....I was remembering the "olden days" when we would run larger/wider rear tires !!!!
A big NONO for running different size tires no matter what on newer vehicles......

Screw abs what about traction control lol. Back hubs always spinning faster it would drag your brakes all day lol. Never do that. Put 500lbs in the bed or level it.

should work ok on Ice or very lose mud
that second number is a percentage of the first, 5% is enough to rip everything out.
