Are you looking for tape measure 34's or sidewall 34's? I'm running what you're looking for but my sidewall and expectations via tape measure don't line up.

I'm running 305 70 17s so side wall claim is what I'm looking for. Thanks though.

almost wishing I would have went with 315s. I was conserned about being able to swing my leg up with a 2.5 lift and 35s. Isnt a problem with the 34s and I probably could have went bigger.

You're talking half an inch difference at best. You have to remember that half of the tires height is on top and doesn't add to actual lift.

only reason I kind of wish I would have gone 35s is it might look a bit better with flat fenders. As it is with the stock fenders it looks about perfect.

I'm 6ft, and it's a hop into the cab. There's a number of rock rails that have a step for easier access to the cab.

On 35s, it's not too late. If you're in a populated area, there's often great deals in the classifieds on slightly-used tires --- guys either selling because they don't like the larger-than-stock tires, or going from 35s to 37s.

BTW, 315-70-17 often measure smaller than 35", and I'd bet some 305 brands versus some 315 brands measure the same, for example 315-70-17 Mickey Thompson MTZs measure 33.75" diameter when mounted.
