i wish you luck with your project, so ball joints are done, and keys are adjusted, i rotated each bolt exactly 6 times on both sides, my only concern is that the driver side bolt isnt sunk in as far as the passenger side BUT the clearence to the droop stops is damn near about exactly the same, but i could be because at the moment i have a 295 size tire on the driver side and a normal 265 on the passenger because i had a flat a week ago and my only spare was a 295, luckly im getting new from tires and alignment this weekend, quick question, im going to try to replace the idler arm before i get the tires and alignment, it all depends on how long my passenger tire holds up as for it is starting to show wire as of today, so my question is, does any one know off the top of there head what size sockets are required, i know you need a pickler fork and a pitman arm puller but im not sure what size sockets i need and my tool supply has gotten depleted lately, no clue how but i just keep losing tools so before i start tearing into it i want to make sure i have everything required

You can fit 285's on stock rims, with no crank. Its tight and may need a little trimming on lower valence but will fit.

I had 285 BFG A/Ts on 16x8 ARs with 4.5" BS only rubbed because the bumper wasnt centered, I also dont have a lower valance
