New rubber & rims-

Ad8 PRODIGY · Dec 5, 2012

What size are those, Cat?

Cat_rebel · Dec 5, 2012

37x12.50-16.5R Goodyear Military OZ on some unknown alloy rims. Front needs to come up about 2" & it should be perfect for what I do with it.

Ad8 PRODIGY · Dec 5, 2012

Stock height or lifted? I'm leaning toward 35's since those look stuffed up front. I can't lift it either. Need to have it close to stock height for a plow.

Stock F350 4x4 height, going to see what I have kicking around for old springs. I'm not real keen on lifting it too much because I enjoy how it sits in the rear & I won't have to mod a gooseneck to fit. Also the higher it gets the more of a PITA it is to jump in & out of it all day & load/unload things from the bed. A 37 measures out closer to a true 35.5 or 36" tire. Just like a 315 measures out more to a true 33 or a 34 depending on brand & tread depth.
I ran a couple different sets of 315s on mine on stock rims & only had issues with rubbing the springs on full crank. Having a non turbo IDI I wouldn't go larger than a 285/305. You cut too much of your gear with the tire it's going to be even more gutless than it already is.

With off brand 315s on stock steel rims -

With warn down 315 Nittos on stock Alcoa's-

With 37s -

Awesome trucks, everyone! I miss my 94. I have been seriously thinking about looking for a 97 after I get rid of my truck.
