I am wanting to run a larger tire but am just wondering how I would fit them. I see Tomac running 315 BFG's but it doesn't look like he has any kind of a lift and pulls with the T-bars down. How does he fit them? Just wondering as I don't want to actually put a lift on the truck. I am wanting to run something betweena 285 and a 305 and will probably upgrade to H2 rims soon. Thanks

I run 285 Toyos on my '07 GMC...All I've done is trim the lower valance and the driver's side tire barely hits the front of the fenderwell while backing up with the wheels turned...This is at stock height...

Alright so I could crank my tbars some to fit larger tires. The question is can I lower them to drag race and pull and them still not be a problem? I don't wanna go ahead and buy a set of bfg-at's and then them be too big for what I want to do. Thanks guys

lots of trimming and a little cranking onthe t-bars fit 315's on H'2 under my 2wd, no rubbing at all. The Bumper replacement helped up front.
