285/75/17s on a Black Diamond NON Sasquatch?

[VelocityBrew]

Was the question directed at the 285/70 or 285/75 size? 285/75 is 33.8" tire height iirc

Whoops. In that case,

I went with a 285/65/18 on wifes Bronco.They change the way it rides.Seem more planted. But the tires look real small

I plan on doing the same and I also wish someone had an overall 1 inch lift. I should have my Bronco with in a month

That's awsome! And eventually I want to do a full old man emu suspension otherwise I would probably do the 4wheel parts spacer lift because from what I remember there are 2 spacers for the front that you can stack to make it level or just use one and keep the rake. But I can't justify that expensive of a lift for a few months before the ome Bp51's are released.

I just found that bfg makes a ko2 in 34x10.5x17 so if you're trying to get the maximum height to fit on the stock steelies this may be somthing to look into. However they are like $400 a tire which is about $100 more than the 285/75/17's and that doesn't really seem worth it just to gain .2 inches in height and be at a 10.5 width instead of 11.2...

I debated these for a while and settled on the 285/75R17 Toyo AT3. Saved a bunch of cash and I believe those K02 are E rated?

These https://m.tirerack.com/tires/tires....R7KO2RWL&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes are D rated. But they are expensive af too, $2k just for tires is steep

It looks like they are E rated so I'll have to see what I'm gonna do. I may just run them with a lower tire preassure.

That's the same tire I'm going with along with the 1inch lift in the front.

I went to discount tire they had to order them from other stores and it didn't look like any of the other stores (besides 1) had a full set in stock they all had like 2 or so.

I'm planning on doing 285/75/17 on the stock black diamond wheels. I just picked her up this past weekend so it will probably be about a week before I put them on. I've also debated the 1" level but I honestly wish there was a kit that did 1" front and back because I think the 1" up front is a little too much by itself. I hate the Carolina squat! cars need rake!

I'll keep everyone informed when the tires get put on.

I agree 100% on the rake.

One solution would be getting used sasquatch "take offs" from someone adjusting to a new coil over set up.

I found some on here and will be installing in the future. That will give you around 1.25" lift in the front and back.

I'm planning on doing the old man emu bp51's when they come out so I'm trying to avoid buying full suspension kit until those cover out, but I have considered doing that. It just feels weird to buy coil offers twice.
