3 inch lift alot of trimming and 32 11.50 TSL SSR's still rub a little. Gonna install a 1 inch coil spacer and maybe a small block in the back until I get the money for the 4.5 long arm.

I actually got a great deal on Kenda Klever M/Ts and they're great so far. Good on the highway, lots of tread (a penny almost disappears in the chunks), haven't taken them offroad yet just looking forward to the next time it rains!

Why are you having such rubbing issues? What kind of rim do you run?

I have about 2" in front and 3" in the back, with 31x10.5 BFG AT's. I love them, they're a great dd/weekend wheeler tire. I had a set of 32x11.5 BFG KM's on my old 92 and they were awesome. Great in the mud, snow etc. Unfortunately they replaced them with the KM2's.

Anyway heres my 2000 with the 31's.

Just replaced a set of the old Goodyear MT/Rs with a the new Kevlar version (same size: 35x12.50). Loved the old ones. The new ones are MUCH nicer on pavement; smoother and MUCH quieter. Haven't had them off-road yet, unfortunately.

15x8 not sure of the off set but that is one cause of rub. No Sway bar with more flex than bump stop is the other issue. I have some coil spacers that I will be installing and shackle[ extensions that will help.
