I ran 285/70R17 with no lift...

Now I run it with a 2" lift.

The 285/75R17 is a 34" tire. And yes... toyo open country MTs are available in this size.

285 is the width. 70/75 is the height. :doh: Here are your measurements:

285/70-17 = 32.71" tall, 11.22" wide
285/75-17 = 33.83" tall, 11.22" wide

Ruh roh, my bad... I did mean the height not the width! My Android phone actually made the mistake, it really wasn't me............really..... friggin Android :)

Ya, the 75 is an inch taller. That's what I'm looking for.

Almost what you are looking for. TeraFlex 1.5 coil lift and 285/75/17 Nitto trail grappler AT.

The fronts just do touch the air dam at full lock. I will need to do a little trimming on the air dam. The backs will get just on the inner fender liners at full stuff, so I need to add an inch or two of bump stop on the rear. Currently have no extra bump stops. BTW, i have TeraFlex 1.25 inch spacers and stock wheels.

Ah, ya I was wondering if I'd need spacers. Thanks

are those trail or terra grapplers on your rig? i see you said trail, but checked out Nitto's sight (cause I like them on your rig) and they looked a helluva lot like the terra's pictured...:thinking:
