Exclamation Firestone Destination M/T tires

Hey fellas! long time since the last intro thread, and I come with good news. I just bought a set of Firestone Destination M/T tires. (30 by 9.5) no lift let, but there is my question....
I was told I could run this tire size without rub but little did I know they were wrong.
So in order to prevent damage on my new shoes I need some input of lifts? annnnything would help because im getting impaitent and would like to go muding VERY soon! thanks!

I'm surprised you've got rubbing. You could just do a little trimming to your fenders.

Order a budget boost..alot of people like fatbobs garage I believe..should be able to get a BB for like 60 bucks or so.
You could get a simple 2" spacer & a shackle..takes about a day to install. Then you'd be lifted a little vs just stock height with minor trimming. Which is a plus!

if you want to go cheap and not so good of a ride, go with a 2" BB with shackles and coil spacer.
FYI-This is the wrong section

Get spacers for the front and shakles for the rear. $35 at any auto parts stores for chevy lowering shakles and your set for the rear. Used coil spacers go up for sale all the time here in the for sale section.

So spacers is what Im hearing. and these are M/T tires witch means they are actully about 31" all around after the tread. so if Im going cheap im probably going with the BB's and if i wanna spend a little money maybe a 3" rancho lift???...
