I will get pick loaded I only had about 4k in the bed today I still had an inch and half between them. The tires have very square shoulders so they don't balloon out on the side walls like the wranglers did

I can space them if there's an issue, only reason I went 235 85 is I wanted the 3050 pound rating


Truck went to get aligned also, hard to find someone around here to align duallys, it was out pretty bad but went back to 0.00 so it handles much better

Had 215 before but they were like balloons in the side wall touched under load. I really don't think these will touch but we will see. If they do I have some 1/2 inch spacers I can run. I believe the factory studs are long enough

I'm pretty sure our wheels are the same, unless u have the optional 17's but I believe that was an 08 and up options

235/85's will rub when loaded, I had to get 1/2" spacers. The studs are just barely long enough.

Just a quick question for you guys, when towing say a friends car, on a different friends trailer... whose insurance would cover an accident etc?

I am slightly worried, will be two cars and the trailer, and I am not a commercially tagged truck.

Can you give any more info on the increased coverage? I have progressive
