Who all is running this configuration and did you need any additional lift...ie (clevis/isolators) to accomplish this?

Thanks guys

you MAY be able to pull it off at first with some trimming
some pounding and a clevis lift for the front
you will need major bump stop spacers front and rear
and then after 6 months to a year when it sags you will need some kind of spacer in the front

How did you get the front inner fender well not to rub with 265s? At full lock my tires(245/75) are about 3/16" from the plastic...

Carefully heat the plastic and push it in.

easy
he is running a 265/70 tire (30.6 high X 10.4 wide)
which is the same OD as your 245/75 (30.5 high and 9.6 wide) and only .8" wider

now 265/75 is another story at 31.6 High X 10.4 wide
all based on a 16" rim

Still makes it extremely tight even with a little plastic massaging(.4" wider on each side of the tire centerline). Especially on the passenger side since the washer fluid reservoir does not allow much room for massaging.
