+2... body lifts are a waste if that is that only thing you have on the truck( looks good with suspension lift w/ it). I hate that space it puts between the body and the frame on the bed and the fact you can see your exhuast manifold hanging out if you don't put those covers on both those sections.

I ran a 305/75-16 on a 16x8 with a 3" body lift on my old yukon. It rubbed in the front though, not too bad, unless you were going over a large bump( read: curb) with the wheels turned.

Im with beastmode on this one, yuo can definently notice a difference, it just doesnt seem as solid as before the body lift, none the less the extra height is worth it

Those Hummer tires run really short for their size mounted up; its a 315/70 17 but measures to around 34" mounted up. You could fit them with a 3" body lift and cranked on Ford keys. A true 35 would fit too but backspacing is crucial. If you're just going with a b/l then go with 285/75 16's. They're the same height as 305/70's but are a little narrower.
