RE: Wheel and Tire combinations
Everything I've heard about the rancho lift so far seems to make no sense. It lifts but the clearance numbers seem likethey go down from stock. I don't have the link anymore but I remember looking at that first review when it came out and they actually lost articulation also. Poor design or is this somehow common for a lift?

it probably lowers the front diff in order to keep the cv-joint angles near stock, so you are gaining tire clearance but the diff is staying the same or lowering some even, so you are losing ground clearance.

Here's a couple photos of a H3 the dealer in my area was selling. It has 35 x12.5R18s Mudd grapplers, pretty narly looking. If you'll notice they haven't lifted the front so those tires rubbed like hell. In fact when I brought in my H3 for alignment, this guy that was there shopping around actually took it for a test drive. As soon as they pulled out of the lot he cranked the wheel to turn and all you could here was the sound of grinding fender wells! LOL! The guy eventually bought it, I bet they didn't offer to crank his torsions for him
Nice wheel set up though, I believe the rims were Welds but they had a low offset so the tires stick out at least 3 inches!

RE: Wheel and Tire combinations
How would you like to try and fit a set of these...... 54 inch Swamper Bogger.........
Time to ditch the Dana 60’s and find some Rockwell axles. NTWOnline is showing pictures of the recently built Interco 19.5 x 54 x 20 Bogger. "Monstrous" is the only word to describe these tires! In the comparison photo, the smallest tire pictured is a 44" Bogger. These tires will be DOT approved for highway usage. The only problem is that the amount of lift required to run these will leave most trucks unable to meet most areas' street legal requirements.
