My truck is a 51 2ton with a 261.

Are you putting the big tires on the front also? If so, make sure you've got adequate clearance in the fenderwells, especially when turning. It should be OK, but it doesn't hurt to check. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 71 Member | | Member Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 71 | You might want to check the clearance you'd have between the rear tires; I can't fit bigger than 8.25x20's without them rubbing the sidewalls. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,088 Authorized Pest | | Authorized Pest Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,088 | I don't know, but see if this will help any.
