We should just keep a link to a "what tires can I use post" and paste and be done with it?
I have 285/75/17 No Spacers, I still have my Crash bars 3 1/2 inch Rough Country lift, I rub a little on the plastic Air Damn when I am backing up as you can see in the first picture, I had 285/70 on before ...

I see what you are saying, the 285 looks good on the truck though. Nice truck!

Nice lift! Looks good.
Thank you but……… I was not at all happy with the 3 inch Fox coil over lift……. Less than a year later I switched over to a BDS 6” lift (with taller Fox coil overs) and I am much much much much happier now. I’m still running the 34 inch tires probably for another month or two before I go to 35s.

Ride’s GREAT………. With the 3 inch lift the suspension road like it was fully extended, If you know what I mean. It just didn’t feel right that stretched out. Axle angles, and so on. So with the 6 inch lift it feels correct and better because all the suspension – geometry whatever you wanna call it feels like it is neutral out across the board. Bottom line the suspension feels not stretched out any longer and it feels great now. 1,000,000% glad I did it. Yes it was definitely a waste of money, but what the hell……… life is very very very short. Wife’s 2026 Raptor……. YES!!!!!! it is beyond bad ass and has a tune on it. Close to 500 horse :cool: P.S. i’m really not doing any kind of stupid showing off… I’m just giving you more ideas, options to think about. I wish I put more time into the 6 inch lift homework before I did the 3 inch lift. Whatever you choose enjoy life because it is way way way too short.

Purchased it six weeks ago, just installed a tune on it. Picked up a coil spring 2 inch lift and I am mounting some 39 inch tires on it in a few weeks.

My current summer Duratracs 285/70 (32.6 x 11.5") have a little over 50K on them. I want to go to 35s, but all of the current 35" optionssuck. There are maybe a dozen options that check 4 or 5 out of 6 boxes, but none that check all 6.Currently it's a choice between Toyo Open Country R/T Pro in 35 x 11.5 or Mickey Thompson Baja Boss in 35 x 10".

I'm going to hold out for now, I can easily get another summer on my Duratracs and have mounted winters ready to go as soon as the weather starts to go. Hopefully Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT, Duratrac, or Duratrac R/T become available in 35 x 11.5" before spring 2028.

Nice truck! Sits perfect. Do any off roading?
I chase quail all over southern New Mexico blm land. I don't do any technical trails but have been in some pucker situations with it and it impressed the crap out of me. With the 10 ply ties the mesquite thorns are no problem. So to answer your questing I do offroad with it. Waiting for quail season so I can try the sway bar disconnects.

Sounds pretty interesting. No off roading here in Florida, just a lot of mudding and mud trails which can be challenging but fun.
