I am in need of a new set of tires for the wifes 06 dually. I'm wanting to jump up in size. Wanting to go with 286 70r 17. With this size will I need a level kit on the front or will they fit? I dont want them to rub.
As it sits I'm not a fan of the leveling kit cause to me it makes the front sit to high when hooked to a trailer. I will level it if I have to squeeze the tires under the front.
With 285's am I going to need the 2" spacer in the rear. Reason I ask buddy says I should be able to put the 285 under it without spacers. I think they will be a bit close for comfort. I know alot of it depends on what tire I choose on how the side walls are.
Side note the truck doesn't tow heavy very often. Bout once a year. Usually just tugging our pontoon to the lake. So it wont have a real heavy load. Figured I would ask the people that could shed some light on the subject with first hand experience. Thanks in advance.
