Question Toyo A/T 285/75/17 vs. M/T 35x12.5x17 - Pics? Comments?

Don't know what I want / need.,,,!

I have a CarliPerformance 2.0 Kit (maybe 2.5 inch lift in the front) and now I need to get the stock slicers off, but I cannot decide - ****!

I don't go into Mud or other heavy stuff... only sand/desert ones in a while (to get the dirtbike there...), which even works on the stoch Michelins

Any pics?
Help?
Suggestions?
MPG's?

I have the Toyo 285/75/17 AT's with a stock suspension. I think the consensus will be to go with the 35's because you have a lift.

that was my 1st thought too, but the 285/75/17's are "only" and inch smaller...

for me its: tough look & off-road readiness vs. mpg's & wear

lol, I hope he was being sarcastic, I too ran 35s at stock height with no more than a kiss on the control arms at full lock. There are even a few guys running 37s at stock height with no issues...

You can run 35"s on stock wheels and stock height. Many on here are doing it.

A small "kiss" of the control arm at full lock is all you will get. And im running a 35 toy m/t whichmeasured a hair more than 35".

I think so too - and the Carli kit adds a lot of wheel travel (Bilstein 7100, etc) - rides like a champ now! Way better than stock!!!

Thinking about adding the PowerWagon fender thingys...
