Tire Size 2004 2WD
 

Just wondering if anyone has put bigger tires on there 2WD.I just installed a 3" front 1" rear leveling/lift kit and would like to go with a 33" tire.Has anyone done this.If so what size will fit without having clearance issues.Also any tire brand recommendations my last set were cooper tires and i only got about 20000 miles on them.Thanks.And no i dont drive like a maniac.

I have a 2.5" leveling kit and air bags in the rear.I'm running 305/70/17s now without issue. I've run as large as 315/70/17s with minor contact. I don't have a lower air dam on the truck and when I've had scrubbing issues it's at full lock on the sway bar

Can also run 285/75/17's without any issues.

How much room did you have between the rear tires? I want to put bigger tires on but don't want them rubbing when loaded down.

I've never had scrubbing in the rear, but the airbags keep the back end up when loaded heavy. Many 4x4 trucks run the 315's without issue. I've put A LOT of weight in the bed and just keep air in the bags.

I've run a number of different tire setups and the best for the truck seem to be the 305/70/17s I have now. I don't scrub at all and they seem to fit the truck well. I've run Goodyear Duratracs in a 315/70/17 and they were significantly larger than the 315/70/17 BFG ATs I took off of the truck - probably 3/4" - even when compared with new BFGs. Those were way too big. The 305's are a nice compromise without having to worry about scrubbing. 285's obviously fit fine as well (I've run this size, too) but I like as much tire as I can comfortably fit.

The 2.5" leveling kit made the truck sit perfectly level. I have pictures where I measured after installation and there was no rake at all. I prefer a little rake and typically keep about 10-15 psi in my bags.

Thanks, been looking for tires and that gives me a lot of info I was looking for.

Mine has 285 / 70 R17's now, stock wheels and stock height with no problem whatsoever.
