    no..shock hoops that go in my fenderwell. then ill have long travel with deavers, but I wont if i bottom out the short ones and would require bigger bumps. i plan on running rear wheel spacers so that will gimme room to play with.

    ya now that I re read all of it your asking what size tires to buy :facepalm:

    get 315s. 285s are too small. I have 265s now, got em when I had just a leveling kit. you should be able to run 315s cranking the t-bars.

    My pics above show the tire clearance. I am still debating, plus I can go anywhere between 285 and 315

    315s are slightly under 12.5 inches wide. I have 12.5 in wide tires and no issues. Or does he have a 2wd?

    I've seen a stock 4wd with just 3'' leveling kit, it was a 4x4 so i think there keys. Any ways he has 315's on after market wheels and it looks great.
