    lol Matt... f u ...im not sensative! they are just loud compared to stock forteras.

    I meant he will probably need pinch weld if he runs spacers.

    I don't think I'll buy a different tire when my Duratracs are done which they are only a few months old.

    I trimmed the hitch bolts pretty good and a pretty worn DuraTrac still will not fit under there; the tire gets stuck on that metal plate next to the track bar or the hitch itself. My tire is down there and it is nice and snug on the hitch and plate. However, due to it not clearing completely it would not go all the way up and lock fully so it made a really annoying noise when driving. I just made a little contraption with 3 pieces of plywood and it is very tight and hasn't made a noise yet. I am getting a basket for X-mas and I was going to put the tire up there but I don't think I will as long as this rig job keeps working.

    Well that's too bad and kinda surprising. I really don't want it anywhere else besides the spare spot. I guess I'll see if I can make it work. Thanks for the insight.

    What's up guys. Just saw this thread and I too am considering these tires as well. My concern is the upper control arm. Not a whole lot of room there. Have factory 245/65/17 now. Any feedback will be much appreciated.

    I don't think you will have an issue with 245/75's since they are only taller and not wider than your current 245/65. The outer lugs could be a problem with the tire change, but worst case you cut the bolt or replace with rro/jba upper control arms because they use a much smaller stud.

    I have 245/70r17 Duratracs and I don't know if you'll be able to fit 245/75r17's without some spacers. That being said, I've heard of people fitting 265/65r17's without spacers on stock rims so the only way you'll know for sure is to have them test fitted. Here's a picture of my 245/70r17's:



    I can get a better picture if you want.
