285/75r18 KO3s 3.5 inch ready lift stock rims

[Ihunt2live]

Hello all,
About a year ago I bought this truck and have slowly been making upgrades. This site has been a huge help. Thank You!

I hope this may help someone out. This is what I did with the suspension and tires.

3.5 ready lift kit (minus the puck) with bilstein 1500 on clip 4 on the front, I wanted to keep a slight rack as I do load the bed up at times.

I went round and round with tires and to save some money I wanted to keep the stock rims so I settled on BFGs new KO3s in 285/75r18. I had discount tire test to see if a full size spare would fit and they said it did so now I will be ordering 1 more for the spare. I do have the 6.5 foot bed. No rub, no issues. Happy with the results.

Hey did you end up getting that spare to fit? I just tried to put a falken wildpeak at4w on my spare: 285/75/r18 and it wouldn’t fit between the tow hitch and sway bar linkage when mounted under the truck, so we’re trying 285/70/r18 tomorrow.

Air it way down. It will fit.

Love that size with the stock wheels, it makes the proportions look just about perfect to me. I think I’m gonna go with that size when I need new tires and just do suspension then.
I’ve been looking at the K03s as well, what load range are they? I know they’re a little limited on sizes/load ranges right now as they just came out.
