Question About New Tires
I need to get new tires and was wondering if I could fit a 285/75/16 on a 99 Limited without any kind of lift? If not what is the biggest tire I could put on the stock wheel without a lift?

285/75R16s can be thought of as 33x10.50s. So, yes they'd go on the stock wheels. And, no they won't fit on the truck with no mods.

I honestly wouldn't think so. There's a lot of guys on here with the same rig, someone will know For Certain, but I think you'd need something like 2+ inches, maybe 3, to do it. More if you actually want to play off road, less if all you want is the look for your street cruiser.

I was thinking about a body lift also, but I really dont wan't that awkward gap between the body and the bumper. Every time I see a nice truck, then I see it has a body lift I'm really disappointed because of that gap.
