Here's a pic of my stock 2003 2005hd with 305/70/16's on stock 16x6.5's. I know some of you are probably keeled over in disbeleif that I had them installed on stock rims, but those will do until I get 16x8's. When I turn left hard, the passenger side rubs on the sway bar. Perhaps I'll limit the steering travel to the left or evaluate in roughly 500 and 1000 city miles any adverse effects this is having on the tires?
No rubbing on the bumper or fenders, although I did trim roughly a 1/4" off the tip of my front bumper, because it looked as though the tires MIGHT rub. When I finally upgrade to 16x8's, I'd imagine that I will encounter some rubbing and trim accordingly. I cranked the torsion bars 2" (measured at the frame, with another inch of travel left in the keys) and now the truck sits level, possibly with a reverse rake. I plan on installing a 2-2.5" lift block to get the rake back, which should level it out for towing.
Anyways, here's a pic!!! I'll post more for those interested.
