John's 1" Lift

Alright, just got some quotes on 245/70s and 245/75s and the bigger ones a bit cheaper. Both E load range, I believe. Do you guys think I will have rubbing with the bigger tires without wheel spacers? I could have them installed as soon as this weekend, but I've got to decide which size.

id run at least a 1/4". also E load? thats going to be a stiff ride.

do they do a test fit to see how they look at the shop youre going to?

E load range will be fine. Our vehicles are heavy. Andrew got his MT/Rs in Load range E

maybe im biased and basing my opinion on when i ran MTRs on my TJ- i know my WK weigsh a good bit more than that but still, those tires and their stiff sidewalls werent as forgiving as say a d range or lower.

What pressure did you run? Ive never had an issue with E load tires but I calculate the proper pressure for them. A lot of people over inflate LT tires thinking they need 50+ psi and then its like riding on bricks.

What psi should i run on my duratracs Matt?

For an LT265/70/17 you're good with 35 psi. At that pressure you'll exceed your RGAWR before overloading the tires. If you're towing/hauling and want to stiffen them up a bit you can go up to 40 psi. Anything above 40 is overkill and may actually reduce traction/stability. 38 psi is a common pressure that suits most people pretty well in these vehicles.

thanks, and another question, how should i rotate them?

For all my 4x4 and AWD vehicles ive always done the Rearward Cross. Worked very well for my Duratracs too. Every 5k miles

I was a bit worried about the E load range at first but after talking to Matt, he assured me it wouldn't be too bad if I used the right psi. What do you recommend I run them at for 245/70?

They have to order it from a warehouse in town so I can't test fit them.

Well I'd rather not use a slip on wheel spacer or really any for that matter so I've decided to just go with 245/70r17. Hopefully this weekend...
