I found a great deal on some BFG AT 285/75R16 load E. my question is, will that be enough tire to fill in a 4" lift? I would really like to do the Borg shaft, and crossover steering, and I've heard you need at least the 4" lift for that. Will it be enough tire?

32.8 tall and 11.22 wide, may not completely fill them, but should look ok.

i think it will look good at least. might have more of a "high-boy" look to it, which i personally like a lot. if its level, it will look good.

Sweet! Anyone have pictures of a setup like that?

here's mine with a 4" lift and 285/75/16 tires. Borgeson shaft and crossover steering made a HUGE difference in steering....

Nice truck!

That thing looks sweet! Did you notice a difference with the steering shaft?

rswoyer

the borgeson shaft was a big improvement... it didnt feel like I was driving my old john deere anymore.... steering wheel moving 6 inches each way without the tires moving.

Tater- I've drooled on numerous occasions seeing your truck at Carlisle. Its probably the nicest 1st gen I've ever seen.

There is a guy local around me that has the twin to that truck except his has a 13 speed trans it it.

I have 285/75R/16s on my truck at stock height and they look pretty good. That other pic doesn't look bad with a 4" lift though. I think some 35" tires would look good with a 4" lift.

Heres some older pics of my junk with a 4" and 285s

How do you like those tires, ragg?

Been good so far. Even last winter on the ice (in 2wd) I thought they were good.
Had Pro-Comp muds on previous and didn't get 40,000km out of them. hopefully these'll last a little longer.
