well its time to buy some new tires, winter weather is FINALLY starting to show its face, so i figure now is a good time

the Yukon has a 2" block out back, and leveled with the bars up front, has some bald 285/75 BFG all terrains on it, and id like to go to a 315/75 if i could, i have no issues now with it rubbing or anything, and it doesnt see a bunch of off road time, mainly driving through light trails and such to get to the good fishin holes :D

i was looking at the Falken Wild Peaks or Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10

My advice is get a body lift if your going to run a 35" tire or you are going to have serious rubbing issues

i have no issues with staying with the 285, i do pull a car trailer with it every once in awhile(drag car), so not really looking to lift it very much at all

summit racing has a 3" body lift for $145, im assuming it has everything but the rear bumper brackets and gap guards

also if i was to buy wheels, i would be looking for a 16x8 with 4.5" backspacing correct?

That 16x8 is 1" wider than stock and teh back spacing is 1" less also (stock is 5.5" I think)

They should work well.
