Tire decision

[jplyfe]

Chris, Wondering if you can answer a question. I’m currently running BF Goodrich LT245/75R16 with stock MOAB rims on my ‘03 TJ. No lift! It’s time for some new sneakers and was thinking of 265 or even 285’s. The Jeep is a daily driver but wasn’t sure if it would need a 2” lift or not so to clear the fronts from rubbing. Im not at all looking to pimp this thing out. Just looking to give it a little beef!
If there are any photos out there of 265 or 285’s send them along.
Thoughts.

A 265/75/16 is a 31.6x10.4. You can’t run that tire on a stock setup. The easiest way to clear them is a 1” Body Lift

A 285/75/16 is a 32.8x11.2. The easiest way to accommodate this tire size is a 2” Budget Boost. Yes, you’d need new shocks. I have one for sale in the Parts for Sale section.

Also, if you want to tag somebody so they get a notice that you’re directing something to them, just put the @ symbol before their name.
