wondering if i could fit 36" superswamper tsl radial 36x14.5x16.5 on with 5" skyjacker?

 

[WhiteSport]

i have the % inch with 35x14.50 x16.5 i love it and it looks great....to see it go to my ride on the readers rides area

 

[RAMRAPTOR]

whitesport do you get any rubbing?? i was told i need a 3" body with the 5" suspension to fit these tires

 

[mccomas]

the TSL 36 x 14.5 x 16.5 are right at 36 inches tall. i think it would be too tight with only 5 inches of lift - i do not know how far back the 5–inch skyjacker will pull the axel. the 36 x 14.5 x 15s are only 35.6 inches tall. but even these would be tight. i don’t know what your budget looks like; but before i spent the cash on tires, i would put on the 3 inch body lift and then get the tire that you will be happy with for several years.... if this is not an option, i think you are better off with a “tall” 35 inch tire.

well i have the 5"suspension and 3" body lift and tires ordered already.... was just afraid i may have gone a bit nuts and building too big of truck to be practical on and off road

It might be close with jsut a 5" and that wide of a tire. If they don't fit, then install the 3" body lift :

 

[Outlaw Ram]

The height of the tires won't be a problem, and with the body lift they will definitely clear. Are you getting flares with those?

 

[RAMRAPTOR]

no i have not got flares....but thiniking i will need em!!

 

[TUNIS]

Per Skyjacker, thier lifts accomodate up to a 36" tire...

 

[Biginuf]

It would be too tight for me to want to drive it. why not stay with the BFG or Procomp MT.???? the 36's suck for street use.

 

[WMIF]

why do 36's suck for street?

 

[WhiteSport]

my 36's are fine on the street..and they are not too big for the lift at all...so i dont think u know what your really talking about lol...and minor rubbing. i guess just like any other truck would be with big tires

 

[Biginuf]

If I had my choice between a 35 BFG or Procomp and 36 swamper I would take the 35's without a doubt, 1" is not much of a differnece in height on the truck, but there is a huge differnce between driving on BFG's or Procomps and Swampers, I personally would sacrifice a 1/2" of ground clearence for nice riding tires, unless your gonna wheel the dog piss out of the truck.

 

[WMIF]

i think the dog piss is already out of my truck :

i have the same setup, you'll need the flares.

 

[unclemark369]

Its not the height that is going to be the problem its the width. Go with a 16in rim and youll be better off because of the offset.

ramraptor,
i have a 5" skyjacker w/rear springs and a 3 inch body lift. i put a leveling kit on the front and an add-a-leaf in the rear. i'm running 38.5x14.5 16" thornbirds on 16x10 inch wheels, and they don't really ride that rough unless they are really cold. oh yeah i don't have any problem with rubbing. :lol: i think that i could of possibly run 42 inchers. maybe in the future when these tires wear out.
