Yukon Lift / Tire Combo

[bb115]

Hello Everyone,

I have spent the better part of the last few days reading the "Lifted/Level 2021 - Postem Up" thread.

To say there is alot of information in the thread is an understatement and I am still not sure which route to take as far as tires go.

I bought the 3" SST Readylift kit and want to run Toyo MT, or Nitto Ridge Grapplers 295/55/22 on the factory wheels.

I understand I will need to trim the inner fabric liner and utilize the wescott pull back kit but was hoping to get a little more insight from folks who have similar setups as to whether the MT 295/55/22 would work with this setup before I purchase them.

Thanks for any info

What size tires are you running now? Have you looked at the tire size calculator for help? Since you’re using the same wheels measuring how much space you have now and adding the extra width should be pretty straightforward.
I’m like you, I wish you could mount one tire and try it on all 4 corners to feel comfortable dropping a grand. Worse case scenario is you can go to a used tire shop and have one mounted on your spare so you can try it out.
Hopefully one of the guys with lifted rigs will chime in soon.

From what I’ve seen 295s should be fine if you doubt it you can always step down to a 305 or 33/12.50 with a 3” leveling kit and should not have any issues.
Note with a 3” spacer you’ll definitely want a differential drop and if you got the money extended upper control arms wouldn’t be a bad idea also but not necessarily NEEDED but it’ll make the ride quality a lot better
