tire size

[jefft]

I purchased a 2" lift for front from Rough Country. I own a 2023 platinum. What is the largest size tire I can install?

I'm also curious as to the answer to this question. Can anyone that has a 2" lift and increased their tire size assist?

I've seen YouTubes of people chopping out the rear SORB tusks in the front wheel wells to fit larger tires. Not something I'd choose to do... those SORB tusks are there for good safety reasons.

I just installed a RC 2" leveling kit, and put 275/65r20 Toyo AT III EV tires on factory 20" wheels. I would say that is about as big as you can go with 2" lift, very little room at front of fender, but no rubbing. Tire spec says its a 34.1" tire. I can go grab a picture here in a bit. Bottom line - it fits but barely. Looks great though!

Agreed, although I have also heard you can loosen the bolts and move them a little for a touch more space, I might have heard switching them front to back makes more room, or also you can get a body jack and press them out a little.

This won't make a lot of room, but maybe just enough if there is just some touching.

Did you go for the 116H or 126S rating? Was there a reason you chose one over the other?

Went 116, as that was all they had at the time, and I prefer it for a better ride. Once you get into higher ratings like E, ride will be affected. I don't drive trails anymore, so it is overkill for me. Ride is great, minimal increase in tread noise. Just did a 1600 mile road trip, no complaints.

Here are some pics of the 275/65 with a 2" lift, and the wheel well clearance. I think this is about as big as you would want to go, yet still fill the fenders. Others may have gotten away with larger, but happy with my setup. Feels more like a truck for sure. Average about 1.9 to 2.1 miles/kwh. Tires are super light at 43 lbs each, so that helps.
