This guide is meant to show you what size of tire you can fit underneath the specified suspension lift. This should provide a basis for what kind of tires to look into, since obviously no one wants to sit around on stock wheels & tires with a lifted truck. Body and fender modiciations may be required to properly install the maximum tire tize and maximum wheel width that's listed. In most cases modifications mean minor trimming of plastic bumper or plastic fender liners. Please make sure there isn't interference with brake, suspension and steering parts of the body or fender panels.
Please note that the following sizes are a basic outline of what should work in most cases - these are not sizes that will work universally across all trucks and all tire manufacturers.
CLICK THE 'YES' BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM IF ANY OF THIS INFORMATION HELPS, IT'S MUCH APPRECIATED.
