Hi to you all,

as i wrote it before it's not easy to get great customparts for my TB.
Now i want to by new tires for my stock rims. I'm looking for BF 265/75R16.
Could you help me wich suspension kit i need to use this size of tires?
I found some here...

But i think, i also need new coils, or not?
I know that i need wheel spacers,too.

It would be great if i'll get any helpfull answers.

Thanks to all and greets from Germany

welcome from state side. while i have not checked the lift charts for your set up or goal, my advise would be to plan and research. i Know some of the trucks are running that size tire but you might be better off getting a little smaller tire. some of the trucks are running close to that size without spacers or lift. if you have high milage then it might make sense to replace shocks and springs.

Sven, I'd look into some of the higher rate springs up front. They tend to really help the front end from bottoming out offroad. I don't know for sure, but I'd think an 86 spring would be appropriate with the liftmeister 3" front lift.
