Default Tire Size
I have a 3 Inch Rough Country Lift Kit I just purchased. The kit claims I can only fit the max of a 31x10.50 tire. Is that the biggest tire I can run? What do you guys run?

You still have to trim with 31's usually.

I run 36's with 2.5" lift.

Tractors push larger tires with less hp. Just saying that gearing takes care of tire size. As always with rotational mass there will be a substantial power loss. But they will push them.

Better? 8)
