285/75/R16's how much lift?

[vizer]

Hey fellas i got a 1997 chevy 1500 2wd and i was wondering if a 3inch body lift with 2inch front coil spacers would clear a pair of 285/75/R16 Kelly Safari MSR's with out rubbing. Any suggestions would help thanks!

you would be fine. Instead of a body lift i would suggest 4" spindles from rough country. Much better then a BL and will perform better.

Another :word: ... would look much better and cost around the same.

vizer check out my gallery. I have some pics of my 92 1500 with the 4" spindles and a stock rear. I was only running 31's but i had no rubbing at all

** spindles are easier to put on also

Im kinda set on the B/L cuz i already got it. What about the tires? I allready got two new ones from my buddy for free, but if they wont perform off road well i wont waste my money on two more. What do you guys think? If they suck what tires would you recomend?

By the way, like the 95 alot!

I ran 265 75 15 Goodyear wrangler rt/s's on my truck and they performed much better then i thought they would. I went through some pretty thick stuff. It all depends on how you drive.

tires + driving skill = how far you can go
