They will fit fine on stock wheels or even aftermarket x8-8.5" wheels with decent backspacing. You dont need ford keys but it might not be fully level without them. Might still have some rake.

 

haha yea I hear ya on that.

Sweet. That is fine actually. I tow my trailer and my boat a little bit so I don't want it to look

 

I'm in Benton. I am maxed on one of the adjuster bolts, but now where near the bumpstops. The truck rides just fine, even with the 8 ply mud tires.

 

Here's my NBS Z71. I have new keys in front, with edelbrock shocks that are made as a stock replacement as well as for "leveled" in front trucks. Tires are a 315/70/17 (OEM Hummer takeoffs) BFG's which arent a true 35, they are about a 34.5 overall diameter. No rubbing, no trimming. I'm cranked just a smidge more then level. Truck rides awesome. My friend utilized his HP Tuners software and took care of the tire size etc and some other things to aide against the size of the tires btw as well.

 

cool thanks

Thanks for the info. Truck looks good. I'll look for those shocks. I will need some here soon.

 

They will fit just fine.. They prolly won't rub stock hieght but will when you crank it up.

 

May be a dumb question, but why is that?

 

When you crank the front end up it pulls the tires in alittle and the tires will rub on the frame.. You can run a 305/70 on a stock truck with stock wheels and not have to do anything unless your goin offroad and flexin it out and hitting steep inclines(driveways with curbs) fast it will be fine.. My truck with 305 on stock everything never rubbed.. With 295s it would rub just alittle with ford keys cranked up..

I would just crank the stock keys up alittle and it will be just fine.. I never want another cranked up truck again

 

Makes sense. My last truck was cranked but I didn't have big tires on it. As far as the ride quality I could tell it was a hair rougher, but I bought a truck not a sleep number.

 

My boss's son has a nnbs truck with 305/70s on stock wheels and it looks fine!
