    Probably asking this same question that has been asked xxx,xxx times. So I'll kick the bucket down the road once again.

    Gladiator Tire

    I'm planning to have a local shop install the Rough Country 3.5 lift and while I'm at it I'm going to install new tires. After shopping around I've come across these tires that I like. Is there a way for me to know before hand if I'll have to do any trimming? Note also the shop told me that adding tire above the recommended specs would affect the offset and that would cause my bearings to wear out. I question this theory because many people are doing it and I haven't seen one thread about it causing bearings to go bad.

    I've also seen that some people don't recommend the Rough Country lifts since they are lower end and not the big expensive boys. My truck is 99.9% a street driver and my off roading is equal to driving through my field once in a while. That said I can't justify the extra 2k for a heavy duty lift.

    And all that said one may question why justify a lift and bigger tires. Well I can't really. I just want it to look mean. I'm in Texas and tired of all these F-150's riding along side me looking down at me like I'm and S-10. Maybe it is ego, pride, and jealousy or a little of all.

    Offset will be a property of the wheels, not the tires. If they stick out they are harder to fit.

    Are you aware of all the negative aspects your plan will have on front end wear, performance, noise, mpg, $$$, etc? Fine if you do... but personally I think a slightly lowered Tundra with a wider tires looks pretty mean, and would make more sense on the road.
