I currently have 265 75 on it and I wont to go to 285 75 for more height andclerances, I would put blocks inback until i can afford to get springs and then front bj spaces.

BIG question is with factory gearing how much worse will fuel econmy and speed etc bewith them?

They are slow to start off with, so it will be even slower.

Just throw them on, then once you decide it's to slow turbo it as you already mentioned :twisted:

bigger tytres = more fuel and less performance.

but like I said the non-turbo is slow anyway.

It is all about off-road ability

Have you changed to 285 75 I am just about to put on a snake racing 4" suspension kit with 285 75 16 inch and was curious how you went.
