3" Lift with 295/70R18

[mshaddock]

Hello all,
I have already bought my 3" rough country lift for my 2023 FX4 Sport in Area 51 Blue. I'm trying to decide on tire size for the lift I bought. I will be staying with my factory wheels. Does anyone have this lift with 295/70R18 or 35x12.50R18? Looking to find the right size for no cutting or rubbing, but not looking too small in the fender wells. If you have any pictures of your setup, that would be greatly appreciated. Please, I've already bought my lift, so nothing larger or smaller, looking for this exact height with stock wheels. Thanks in advance, ready.....go!

With a 3 in lift and stock wheels , you wont have any issues with cutting/rubbing. key is your stock wheels and its favorable positive offset

Thank you for your response on the rubbing portion of my questions.

Not sure if anyone has any pics of their trucks with a 3" lift and 295/70r18's? I want to make sure my wheel wells are filled out enough. I'll be ordering tires on this Friday, and install the weekend of Thanksgiving. Hopefully someone will chime in with pics.

Here's the only post I've been able to locate in the factory wheels/aftermarket tires thread.

I only have a 2 inch level but you might get an idea of how the tires look.

Only have a 2.5" level on 35x11.5 on stock wheel 20's.

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

I really like the look of the 3" RC lift and was interested in purchasing but chatted with a lift dealer about this product and they stated that it results in the CV angles being too severe and that they had personally seen snapped axle shafts as result of this exact lift on my exact truck.

Basically, once you go past 2.5", you need a real lift that shifts everything downwards to maintain steering geometry.

Update.....On this coming Friday (after Thanksgiving) my lift and tire will be going on the truck finally. I found a good deal on 305/70R18. Looking forward to the height of the truck at after the install. I will post some pictures when it gets completed.
