Looks good. You lost just a bit of height but got a little width going from the 265/75 to the new 275/70's. I am totally beating myself up about which tire size to go with when my lift gets here this week. A 2 inch lift wold look real good with those tires.

sorry, i didnt realize i said that height, they are actually 265/75/16. Yeah I can't wait for my lift. What kind of driving are you going to do with your runner once you get your lift. ie; rock crawling, mud slinging, or just ride trails. I like these tires because they perform great on road and just as well off road. They have a little hum to them, but if youre not listening for it you cant really hear it. Good luck on your lift and tire selection.

I go off roading 3-4 times a month. When I do it is socal so a lot of rocky trails and loose gravel. Some mud though in the spring. No crazy rock crawling for this rig. 285's look real good and give an extra 1/2 of clearance but the rubbing is not so cool. I hear a lot of guys talk about rubbing on A arms and flares. It will be 95% on road so AT make the most sense but... MT look so much better and do better when I can get out there. I will wait until the end of the week to see how the lift looks and then decide. I still have the original Goodyears w/74,000 miles. They are pretty worn but really evenly.
