Well if you take a look at my truck...it has 30's on it now on stock height...don't know if that gives you any idea to the size difference or not. It's not much.
I don't think anyone around here is running stock tires with any sort of lift. I might be wrong though..

dont burn me at the stake for this, but I remember a thread stating that "stock" tire size was dependant on a number of things. Both 235/70r15 and 235/75r15 were stock options along with maybe 2 more sizes....

enjoy. search it up, there was a bit of discussion and swartlkk weighed in on it with like 4-5 sizes

The shackles were pretty straight forward. I had one bolt that was seized i the leaf spring bushing. Took me about 4 hours to get it out. I ended up putting a C-clamp on it and hitting the end of the C-clamp with a moderately sized hammer to get it going. And of course a LOT of penetrating fluid. I had to disconnect my shocks to re0attach the new shackles as they were bottoming out. I need longer ones I suppose. T-bars are easy. There is a how-to on the shackles with a few pictures around here somewhere.
