okyota 03-22-2010, 06:56 PM I've got a 2004 3/4 ton diesel, stock suspension and stock wheels. I run 315/70/17 BFG at's (h2 take-offs) and I only rub on the control arms slightly during hard uneven turns.

without doing anything to ur truck u can stuff 37 in tall tires! it will rub at full compression and rub control arms.
with the front leveled, 35's on the factory rim. that is what i have, doesn't rub on anything. go to cumminsforum.com the have a section about what fit/hit tire rim combo.
76scoutman 03-23-2010, 07:30 AM Of ALL the diesel forums out there that discuss this in GREAT detail with plenty of pix, you come here to ask that as your first post? :mr-t:
You guys are getting soft. :shaking:
Short answers- Yes they will fit on your wheels, yes they will rub in some flex/turn positions, and yes you will need to do something like a leveling lift/trim to get full strokable hard on satisfaction out of running those tires.
Oh and as Yellow sub suggested, don't even think of towing any more than mentioned. :flipoff2:

I thought Sub was being generous. That thing should only be used to transport empty tow dollies (one at a time):flipoff2:

I don't know if it could handle that much weight, but it sounds like his ride should definitely be sporting dual stacks, truck nutz, a train horn (the obnoxiously loud "safety" device, not the PBB attention whore), and at least one "GIT R DUN" sticker.

Don't forget the Calvin pissing on the ford symbol. :laughing:
#rawkon 03-23-2010, 12:20 PM If you put tires onthat rub anytime, They are too fucking big. And PS you know you posted this in towing? Big tires make for a piss poor tow rig. Might try putting this in the newbie offroad section, where it belongs.:flipoff2:
