OBX lifted and new tires - Rough Country 3.5" lift and 285/75R18 on the stock rims

[MikeyFrog]

Did the rough country 3.5 lift and 285/75R18 on the stock rims. Went with the Nitro Terra Grappler G2 for something a bit chunkier but also not terrible road noise. Loving it, at 6'6, I like having a truckas tall as me, and with the sidesteps, the kids can still get in.

I don't really notice much noise at all from them. Ride is great, still super smooth. Feels the same as stock tires.

OP, looks very nice. One question, any driveline vibration after vs before the lift?

None, drives like it's still stock. Very happy with the lift and the tires.

How well do the 285s fill the wheel well? Got any farther back side profile shots? Looking to get this lift, glad it rides well! Just now thinking on which size tire I went to move up to.

I'll try to take one further away for you. I like the 35 but you could go bigger if you wanted to. I wouldnt go smaller with this lift though.

I know this an old thread. I just got my 2023 OBX non SAS. I was looking at this lift and tire combo you have. Is there any rubbing? I know you put this lift on awhile back any regrets? Anything yiu wish you would've done differently now?

No rub with the lift, but would without. Not sure but I think 1.5 was needed for no rub 35 and you need to remove crash bar like sasquatch. I did not remove it.

I got automatic running board steps for the little humans in my house and normal size adults. At 6'6, I just step into the truck. I ended up putting wheel spacers and removing my fenders for a more aggressive look. Otherwise I am very happy with the lift and tiresize. May update wheels next set of tires though.
