Tire size with RSK, F350 blocks and SD springs

[TNScrambler]

Here is my truck bone stock suspension (TTB D50) with 305/70/16s on stock wheels....



Here is it with SD B code rear springs with 3.5in block, stock '97 F350 front springs and D60 and the same 305s and wheels.....



here it is with the Hard Knox Fab low lift RSK with SD X-code front springs, SD B-code rears with 3.5 in block and again the same 305s....

All that said, they will soon be replaced with 285/75/16s on the stock wheels, I feel the 305s are just too wide for my needs.....really if I could get a 33x10.50 tire that would be great with me.

Have you looked into 255/85R16, I have a set on my van, Basically 33x10
They're BFG M/T's, the tread patch is narrow and makes the tire look goofy. Maybe other brands in this size would look better.

I am considering getting a PMF RSK and running my 285's. I think they look the best with the 3" kit IMO.

What are the negatives to Mickey Thompson wheels?

It looks like they are now cast instead of forged. It also looks like they are china made now too from the online reading I did.

Do you have a link to the reading you did? I've been considering getting a set of the MT Classic II's.

This in mine with 3" Sky RSK, V code fronts, B Code rears with F350 blocks on 285/75/16 Michelins on stock wheels.

I like that look a lot.

That seals the deal. Once the spare Dana 60 I have is sold I'm going to get the RSK with V-codes and run my 285 tires.

Centerline still makes a forged wheel. Seems like 16's are getting less popular, but I love 'em on these old trucks.
