in your photoshop I dont think you have enough lift to clear the tires. you will have major rub....
I have 37s and a 3" and needed to do some fender mods. Many pics on hear and other places.
There is a truck near me with what looks like 40s and a kelderman lift. it is huge. Does not even look like it can still tow any thing.
So any way, I vote no. For the amount of lift you mention in your last post, there are quite a few cheaper options then kelderman. but I will say not as cool and airing down when you stop. but you need both ends to make that realy cool.

Why brand tires were you referring to? Unfortunately, commerical tire brands vary GREATLY in sizes. For example, a 275/70 should be 37.6 inches tall, but yet most are 38.1 or 38.2" tall. The sizes vary greatly from one brand to another in both height and width for the same "size" tire. I may be forced to go with just 275/70s!
275/70R22.- H/16 pr Michelin XZA1 or Goodyear G670RV
265/75R22.5 G/14pr Bridgestone R250F or Goodyear G149RSA

To hell with all of that, I will just take the wheels and tires off of a Catepillar 797B, you know the 30-foot wide, 1,500,000 lb. hauling, quad turboed behemoth? I think the wheels are 156s (13') and the tires are 240s (20')

Personal taste and judgement is all that should matter. Gotta be bigger, faster, have more power? I just don't get it. Sooner or later you cross the line and gain membership in the Poser Club.
Thats just one mans oppinion

I swear that truck lives 5 miles from me. There is one near my house that looks EXACTLY like that with the 22.5s and everything it even loks like that pic could have been taken in their yard!!! It is rediculous! Do you know where the person who knows that truck lives by chance? Or are the other pictures showing the licence plate?
