I have a 6" RC Lift, ARB bumper, and body mod chop.
I'm thinking off going to BF Goodrich All-Terrains LT315/70R17 from 33" something KM2 Mud-Terrains. I've had my KM2 for about 40,000 miles, and my front's are bald on the inside. I have about one more tire rotation out of them, and they are spent.
I need to get an alignment and then get some needed meats.
Here are my concerns: According to the 4wheelparts website, the BFG 315/70R17s are about 35x12.50R17. My lift lists that as the tire size of choice after a body mod chop, and some mud flap surgery. The only problem I might see is that my ARB+M8000 might have caused a bit of sagging up front.
It seems like there is plenty of vertical clearance, but I might need to go ahead and ditch my 6" strut spacers and stock springs with replaced munroe struts (my toyota front shocks blew) for a set of Icon adjustable coilovers to get out the sag, I refuse to use Radflo, as I tried to order from them previously and their customer service was lacking.
Any one else have a 6" RC, an ARB w/ winch, stock coilovers, and a set of 35's?
Any one have any constructive thoughts on possible interference due to coil sag? I was thinking maybe OME springs might work on my munroe shocks, ore maybe an OME front set of medium to heavy coilovers might work with my strut spacer, given the very visible difference between the amount of space in the front wheel arches and rear wheel arches.
Edit: BTW before someone says something like 'search the forums' I did a search for 315/70R17 in thread titles, and didn't find anything satisfying, I did the same for thread body, and I didn't find anything related to tires.
