    What lifts can fit a 305/65/17 tire?

    Ok, with my SuperLift debacle....do I wait the months to install?
    I already have the 305 tires and wheels. Are there any other lift options that can take this much tire?

    My 285/70's are taller than those 305/65's. I'm running the OME coil lift with Matt's rear 1/2 inch spacer.

    Zero rubbing even when fully articulated front and rear. However I added rear bump stop spacers (which you should install anyways on any coil lift) and I have the sal bumper mod, custom pinch weld mod and trimmed the front flares. Rear AC delete too.

    Honestly you should wait it out if you already have the tires

    Yeah I'd just wait for the superlift to arrive. Or cancel your order and get it from Jon

    Instead of installing a lift and then installing the superlift when it arrives I would just wait till the superlift comes in....no sense in doing twice the work imo.

    He was working on it for me. He told me a few weeks ago that they were backordered.
