im glad you were finally able to find some that fit. but, as others have stated, i think it would look a lot better with 31's or 32's.

but its your truck and you like the deeper wheels so thats all that really matters
thanks man. i really do want bigger tires im gonna lift it another 2" and see from there. right now 29s are gonna have to do.

that should work... i was thinking that you had already done shackles and coils

with a 7.5" lift, you could fit some pretty massive tires.

i would think so, i think if you used the same shocks, you wouldnt have an equal amount of suspension flex up and down. there would be plenty of room for your truck to move downwards but not very much upwards. instead of "bottoming out" you would have a higher risk of "topping out"

im not real sure about that so you might want to look into it a little further. i would go to an offroad shop (assuming there are some around) and ask them

You would need new shocks, especially if you didnt change from stock shocks. 2" more would only probably allow you to get 31" tires with no trimming. Your best bet is probably to do some trimming, because with 7.5" of lift you are going to want something bigger than a 31" tire in there atleast 33". But it is your truck, you can do what you want, but just from going to 33" tires from the 29" tires you have now would give you another 2" of ground clearance since the overall diameter is 4" larger. Just some things to think about.

if you go 2" more, you may be able to fit 33/12.5 on there which, like lenny said, would give you another 2" lift. if you are ok with trimming, you could fit more than 33's... rcars2 has 33's with only a 4" lift

Default RE: 29x10.50 test fit

why would you put 29x10.50 tires on? why not somethin atleast bigger. and if not i would go with a narrower tire. wider is not always better. in mud and snow a narrower tire will do better. id get some 31x10.50 atleast for that it looks goofy with such small tires. how didnt 30's fit? with all that lift they should fit easily with very minimal trimming i would think. i have a 4x4 and only a 2" torsion bar crank in the front and im putting 31x10.50s on it

......HUH? Where do you get that rational? If you have a narrower tire you have more weight on a smaller area and thus you will sink faster. Additionally you have less surface to grip with so traction for accellerating and stopping is significantly less. Im not sure where you learned that from but speaking from experience, wider tires take the elements a lot better.
