DAMN!!! sweet dude, what size lift are you runnin' on there to fit the 295s? I like it a lot. Mine is slowly getting there, I'm still runnin small on the wheels, 265s here, but I have 3" of suspension lift, and maybe a 1" body lift soon, just wondering if I'll be able to fit those same tires. I like it a lot.

Well Guys, Ill get back to you about the LIFT and EXACTLY what I am using,
but for now I am testing several things. just talking a 3" susp and 2"BL clears 295's and LOOKS GREAT, you might have some rubbing in REVERSE while turning hard.

The difference between 285's and 295's are NOTICABLE, just ask grimpy, I think he wrote in a thread about the notice off road as well, heres some math for ya borrowed from discounttire.com's tire calculator
285's --- ---------- 295's
Sidewall Height: 8.42 -----Sidewall Height: 8.71
Section Width: 11.22 ----- Section Width: 11.61
Overall Diameter: 32.68 ---- Overall Diameter:33.42
NOW on Nittos site it says the 295's are 33.27 inches
YOUR GOING FROM A 32" tire to a 33" tire

Nice, Nice, I have 265/75s nw which measure about 31.5" with extremely minor rubbing. I liked the 305/70s cause they were wider and a little shorter. And they only supposedly measure 32.8", so I'm thining with a 1" body lift, I could fit those. I really really like your truck, I always wanted that high ass stance, but, I'll have to wait on that I guess. Nice truck, I envy you!
