255/85/16 picture?

I am thinking of buying this size tire. Anybody running these have pictures of their truck? I am also thinking of going with the Skyjacker D25 2-1/2" front spring to level it out. What do you all think?

Re:255/85/16 picture?

After looking at all sizes, I have narrowed it down to the 255/85/16's or the 295/75/16's. I know the 255's won't rub, but will the 295's?

I have 255/85/16s and I like them. Seem to handle well on road and on snow. They are around 33.5 inches tall.

98ramtough. What brand do you have. Do you have any lift. I am leaning toward this size in BFG's from Costco for $619 out the door price. Does this sound good. I want a tire that is closer to 34&quot;. The 285's are closer to 33&quot;.

I too have 255/85's and like them. No rubbing even with running boards. I'm running Kelly all terrains and they seem to be holding up pretty good up front.

I have them on my truck. Although mine is a dually. Mine are 33.7&quot; tall and have had no problems with them. Very rarely put truck in 4X4. Tires are great in the snow.

I run a 305/70/16 with slight rub at full lock. A 285/75/16 wouldn't rub at all.
