Okay guys I have done lots of searching on T4R.org and haven't had luch with finding what I need for an answer. So my plan is to get some Treadwright 285/70R17 Guard Dogs (MT's). (I am not looking for opinions of the retreads, as I have discussed this at length before.) Currently I plan on keeping the factory 17's. I was looking at the OME lifts, since I don't have or plan on adding an aftermarket bumper, so I was looking at getting their medium spring setup. Will this suspension setup plus their top spacer to get the full 3" lift, would this be sufficient or would also adding a 1"body lift be needed? I understand alot of trimming will be required plus possible body mount chopping.

With the OME lift can you add any other spacers to get a bit more lift besides using the top out spacers
?

Is there anything I am missing or need to get these 285/70's to fit? I understand either UCA's or wheel spacers may be required depending upon rubbing. Or if I can get away without having to get either of those 2 items maybe I may try the 255/75's..... IDK guess depending upon what you guys tell me.

Since money doesn't grow on trees for me, I was looking at the cheaper tires and putting more of the money into the lift to get the better suspension now instead of later. I just wanted u guys to know where my thoughts are comming from.

Please excuse any errors as I am typing this from my cell phone, I will edit this as needed when I get home from work.

I have almost the exact setup your looking to get, I did have to get wheel spacers due to a wheel fit issue and Im glad I did. The ONLY thing I had to trim was about 2-3 inches off the inside plastic on the front bumper. Oh and take my front mud flaps off.

Thanks for the response Alistor, I appreciate it! I felt kind of like a boob asking a question that gets asked all them time, but I couldn't find anything specific to the setup I was thinking.


Thanks
Jason
