Lift kits

Looking to put 285/75R16 with 16x8 Stockton. Wanna bare minimum amount of lift and cutting fenders. Offroad Design was not much help on suggestions.

Not sure you will need much lift with that tire size. You might wnt to use 1" Zero Rates in front and back and see what happens.

I had 285 tires on mine with no lift.

No problems

What kinda off sets were you running on your wheels?

Just some old stock rims

I'm running 255 85 R16s on 16x8 rims with zero offset..flange is right at 4" inside the rim. The tires are within the wheel wells..up front. I have a 1031 SECM so it is a bit wider than a 1008/1028. These are 33" diameter tires, no lift up front and air bags in the rear to ride level as I have tools..

So with 285 75 R16 on 16x8 rims, I would go for 4-1/2" to 5" backspace with 8" width rims to keep the tire within the fenders.

285 75 16 Duratracs on stock rims. Slight rub if really loaded and flexs just right with wheel cut hard. Empty its never a problem. With plow on front nver an issue, only when max load in bed!

Well, it doesn't rub at all now as in the midst of a full restoration and wheels are outside, frame and cab on skates in the garage. Zero rates would solve the front rub but then would have to figure out sway bar connect.

Also could replace with new stock replacement HD four pack spring if your springs are weak. This would probably be the better option!
