Nice Hoops !!! And it's done right. I like all spring lifts. I know it's more expensive and not everyone can afford it, but I'd sure rather it be done this way.

BTW, anyone wanting to know, that tire size caluclates to a 34.6 inch tall tire.

Anyone know the width of Hoops tires? I hate metric tires sizes for trucks. I'm going to need to be going with 16's too and it appears you buy them in metric size. I like that tire height, but hoping it's not over 12.5, and actually hoping it might be a little thinner than that.

I like the Duratrac tires- I had them for a bit.

According to Goodyear those tires are 34.8" tall and are 12.3" wide when on a 8.5" wheel.

Cool. That won't be to bad. I will probably look for that size of tire then. I'm obviously going to be going with 16in tires using 8 lug wheels and wasn't sure what size tire to get. I'd imagine the next size smaller would be a 305/75/16? I might look at that one too and compare costs.

A 305/75/16 is usually just a wider 285/75/16

Both are typically 33.1" tall, but the 305 is 1" wider and is around 12.2" instead of 11.3" wide. Seems like when I was pricing tires 305s were around $50 more per tire than a 285.

Thanks guys !

I really like the duratrac tires I had them on my ford and they are very good in the snow and ice

I was worried how the rough country lift would ride, a lot of people say its bad lol. But this rides great ! Way better than before But my 3.08 gears are a little slow they will do for now.

Generally a 305/70 is considered a 33x12.50 and the 315/75 is a 35x12.50

Then for whatever reason, most 17"s in that size went back to the normal measurements. The tire industry just does whatever the hell they want, lol.

Ya lol the duratrac tire for a 15" rim is listed as a 33x12.50x15 and 31x10.50x15 all other duratrac tires are listed metric haha I have a calculator on my phone that will swap metric tire sizes to inches lol
