Hey guys. Simple question. Anyone running these? I have a 05 Sport 4x4 no lift, thinking of just putting some on and going to have fun this summer, worry about lift next year.

First thing to check is if , well actually how much yours has sagged.
Measure from the middle of the wheel to bottom of the flare in front.
KJs sag any where from 1/2 to over an inch so while one person maybe able to run 245-70-16s someone else may not
I actually had a guy come to my place for a lift and his worn out 235-70-16s were rubbing ( 1.75 inches below stock height ! )
So start by measuring first!
So see not a simple question LOL

So I did before I did a full lift but I did a clevis lift and trimmed the plastic first. It is possible but like Tom said if you are super sagged it might become an issue.

I have that size and my stock suspension is between 1/2 to 3/4" sagged, more on the front left.

It rubs under hard turns at full lock, but just a little. More than it should, obviously.

Looks much better with AT's in that size, though.
