well the 285/75r17 is about double the 285/70r17 in price. which is better btw the eibach or bilstein? also whats the cheapest way to get that front leveled? thats the look i want though is like yours but i want raceline boost wheels in the mix.Here's my 2014 with the Eibach Pro kit and 285/70/17s in price. I had these tires on with stock Outdoorsman suspension for over 2 years.
I want to go with 285/75/17s next.
Should be fine then. You can look for pics of RAM Rebels, they run 17's with 285/70/17 factory, and they're i believe 1" higher in the front.
For the BFG All Terrain the price difference is $38/tire between the two sizes (E rated) on Discount Tire. You may see an extreme price difference if you are looking at a cheaper tire that doesn't have a 285/75 option or if they make a big jump in price moving up in size. I like BFG All Terrains and I don't put a lot of miles on my truck (2014 with almost 70k miles) so I don't mind spending a little more on tires since I'll have them 4 to 5 years. I'll most likely replace them due to age rather than mileage. My current set have close to 20k miles on them and are 3.5 years old. They still have a lot of tread, are silent, and show no signs of cracks. Our Expedition has Nitto Ridge Grapplers with 33k miles, they're loud, have less than 25% tread left, are 3 years old, and are showing a lot of dry cracks.well the 285/75r17 is about double the 285/70r17 in price. which is better btw the eibach or bilstein? also whats the cheapest way to get that front leveled? thats the look i want though is like yours but i want raceline boost wheels in the mix.
I like 315s and most of the time I want them, but I'm not a fan of the majority of aftermarket wheels and I don't want to actually pay for aftermarket wheels. My factory wheels are too narrow for 315s but I keep an eye out for Rebel wheels to find a deal I can't pass up. I actually found a nice set local to me for $400 last year but didn't go after them. If I can find another good deal I may step up to 315s next but I still think I'll ultimately end up with 285/75. I wouldn't say I need 315s but your truck always convinces me I do.Don't expect to much of a change in looks other that what the wheels will give you as 285/70/17 is literally same diameter as your factory 33's with 20 wheels.

What tires are you looking at that are $250 and $140?yeah 315s are like 250 bucks a tire 285s are about 140. im not unhappy with the size of my 20s tire height. im just unhappy with the fact they are 20s with highway tread. im also not really wanting a lift just want it to set level in the front. a slightly deeper offset and just more rubber less rim would please me fine.
walmart the cheapest 315 they sell is 224 dollars and is a brand ive never heard of. to get one i am familar with is 250 plus. a brand i actually know of in 285 is about 150-160 a tire. i aint that concerned with having a inch taller tire to pay 400 more for tires. on our roads a set of tires may last 40k miles at most and thats turning them into racing slicks by the time you get to that. also have no need for a e rated tire on a 1/2 ton.What tires are you looking at that are $250 and $140?
285/70 sounds like it will work great for you.i dont want to look lifted at all just want rid of the rake and at tires. if i could run 265 70 i would but that would being going smaller in size than oem. or if i could squeeze 16s on it.
