Question: What size tire were you able to fit up front after these leveling shockes were installed. I'm planning to go from 245/65/17 to a 285/70/

I have 285/70R17 on and it's fine with no spacers, cutting or rubbing. Looks great. http://tire-size-conversion.com/tire-size-comparison/ should help you decide some changes (it will affect your spedo and other stuff unless you re-program the computer). I also considered a 255/80R17, which would fit too and is a bit taller, but didn't like any of the tires I could get.http://www.gmtruckclub.com/forum/threads/greenhorn-tire-question-2007-nbs-tall-and-skinny-or-fatter.151115/#post-618700 is a forum post by me with some pictures half way down with new and old sizes

I ran 275/70/18's on my truck which is a 33.2" diameter tire and it doesn't rub at all. It is said that you can run a 35" tire with certain after-market wheels or wheel spacers. I ran my 275/70/18's on my factory 18" wheels and it works perfectly. No rubbing and no need for trimming.

The best dang tire you can buy for a truck weighing more than 8k lbs and needing great off road capabilities. Just curious. Why do you care about the sidewalls? Worried about curbs or bullets? lol.

The rear of my '97 now appears a little higher than the front, though I wouldn't say 4 inches. With the airbag suspension the rear would "kneel" when you park for ease of loading, but with the kit it is up where it can take a cargo load on the road. The tops of my bumpers measure close to the same height from the ground now. Did you get the front shocks installed at the time the rear springs were installed? Even if the existing shocks were still good, that is a good idea and will affect the stance. Did you put a 4x2 kit on a 4x4 truck? That would definitely mess up the stance. Possibly you got so used to seeing it sitting down on it's haunches that the rear just looks too high now? Folks on the Ford forums might have more info, some of them are techs with a lot of experience. Just a note, I got mine last April and still like them even if my truck rides like a truck now instead of a car.

Hello,Unfortunately these wheels will not work on your vehicle, sorry. They come with a +40mm offset and your vehicle requires a +15mm to a +25mm offset range. Is there a different wheel you would be interested in?Let me know and I can check for fitment and confirm availability for you.Thanks,Luis

I don't understand where people come up with things. It's a 23 mm tire that holds 150 psi. I run them at 120. Where does "comfort" or "harsh" fit in here? They handle as well as the Michelin Pro Racers I used to ride, they're cheaper, and they last 3-4 times as long.

No you dont. Because its not a dramatic drop. Now if you went with a 4 or a 6 inch drop I would recommend buying new shocks for the amount of drop you did. Like Bilstein or Eibach.

I didn't go bigger than the stock 275. I went with a more aggressive tread pattern but I probably could have gone up two more sizes with out any problems.

I have the 700x23 and they are just at 23mm, I guess it also depends on how accurate your measurements are and on or off the rim...great tire though, handles the gravel that gets on the back roads and has been wearing very well...

I'm quite happy with the tires. If they were any wider,I would have to delete them a bit to get them past the brakes when removing the wheels. For this reason I felt they were as wide as one could buy without becoming an inconvenience. Enjoy!

It should help a bit.. They raised my 2 whl drive and inch or so. It looked much better after the install without hurting the ride... The shocks are no harsher than oem

225/40/19if your lowered more than 1" than 225/35/19 but iam going with a 40 profile I have an 11 accord coupe v6 with the HFP suspension (giving it about a 1.1" drop all around ) and it looks great now I just need more rim and less tire iam on 45 series w/ 18" rims and 1/2" down on tires and 1" up on rim will make for a perfect look !!!!

I am running a 285/75r18, which is essentially a 35 inch tire. I had to add a 1" daystar level puck on top of the Ranchero. I still had to trim a little bit of plastic from the wheel well up front. But I really like these Coil overs!

Depends on the tube you have and can be hard to read the lprinted info once they've been in a tire for a while. I usually switch out to bigger tubes for 32 mm tires when changing from my 23s

I tried using the 26"x2.1" tubes on these tires to try to save money. I think the tube was too big cause the tire blew up. You need the right tube. I ended up getting 26"x1.5" tubes and it worked great. I did the Trans America three years ago on these tires, and only had one flat. I still have these tires. They wear very well.

1.5 inches... if your putting bigger tires on I wouldn't go bigger than 32's

The tires that came on mine were Kenda's 700x23. I did not like them at all. Replaced with a Continental gatorskin on front and a Schwelbe marathon (sp?) on back. Both of these far superior to the original equipment in my opinion.
