old pic with 9.00/16's;

what size lift is on your truck if you don't mind me asking?

do not run that wide of a tire on that narrow of a rim... your best bet is upgrade your wheels to a wider wheel/ larger wheel... www.dieselwheels.com and American Force, Big Dually Wheels and Rims -- Custom Dually Wheels For Big Trucks would be your best bet for getting rim and tire packages.... it is very dangerous to have too wide of a tire on that narrow of a wheel... plus when towing, you will get a lot of sway which makes it even more dangerous...

Lloyd;
it has a front leveling kit, rear blocks, and 4 inch lift springs. So about 8 inches +/-.

Dunes;
I agree, I would love to get the amer-force set-up, but the bank acct says "not yet". I am only running a 10 inch wide tire, not nearly as bad as soo many others with their 12.5's.

where did you find those? Normally a 285 is a 75?

Yup, I remembered wrong! They are 255/85/16's, which are 10 wide 33.8 tall.
