Default 32s on a 3-4 in lift

Hey everyone just another specific question related to my build.
i have 1.75in terraflex lift shackles and OME 2.5 heavy duty leaf springs in rear, terraflex 1.75 coil spacer, rustys 3in HD springs in front as far a lift goes.

probly will be adding the roughcountry relocation brackets,(i have terrible shackle angle )

measured frame to tube and its between 10-11 inches front and back

additionally i have Bushwacker cut out flat flares.

black rock lobo 15x9 rims with 4in backspace.

ARB bullbar bumper

andddd now for the actual question, i made a Impulse purchase on a set of new cooper discoverer STT in a 32x11.5X15 and want to know if anyone is running something similar.

im mostly going to be riding this rig on the dunes and dirt roads in michigan so crazy flex is not 100% important but i do want it to be functional

I'm just telling you that with the relocation bracket, you will be sitting around 6" of lift in the rear

It sounds like you are currently at 4-5" in back and will be 5-6" with the relocation bracket.

They will fit. Your only issue is will it lessen your flex. I had a 3inch lift with my 32 11.50 TSL SSR's. I rubbed beyond trimming. I had to go up another 2 inches and still have enough flex to tuck the tires in the wheel wells

With just the 3 inch lift.

After 2 inch coil spacer and 2.6 inch worth of shackle replacement.
