Very nice! Noticable power loss? Rubbing issues on or off-road? Did you adjust the torsion bars? Tell us...http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif According to BFGs website your 305/70R16s measure 33.0" and are rated D @ 2910lbs, any reason you didn't go with 295/75R16s which measure 33.2" and rated D @ 3415lbs?Edited by: y2kboti

Load range D, and no noticeable power loss, I can burn out in them.

Do you have more of a side shot that shows if they stick out from the truck any?





Thanks

No rubbing issues off-road, and yes I did have the torsion bars raised before I took delivery, however, on my z-71's and suburbans, i never had the torsion bars raised and they still fit fine, the dealers that are telling you that they won't fit are feeding you crap. As for the height, they are at 32 14/16 as a new tire, so yes 33" tall tires. And the reason why I didn't go with the 295's is because its a 75 series tire not 70, 70 series tire is wider and I like that look.

ChevyHDGert-


They don't stick out past the flares, just a tad past the stock fender, however if the flares weren't there it would be noticeable.

They shoehorned 'em onto the stock rims?


I like the look!

<font color="blue">Hey nice pics. they showed me what I was looking for, now I can go buy mine. They look great , by the way it sounds like you had these tires previously on srock rims how have they worn? Also do you have the green keys, if not how much are your T-bars cranked up I like how the truck looks http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Thumbs Up.gif</font>

On the gassers they wore fine, however on the diesel they wear a bit faster. Then again I already had two sets of tires on them b/c of high miles, never ran off stock tires, I put Goodyear AT/S on the day after delivery back in March of 03 and replaced them W/ the BFG's in Dec. of 03. current, I have alomst 20,000 miles on the BFG's already.
