That looks sweet! Those 285s look pretty good on the 10 wides.
You are correct, 3/4 tons do sit higher from the factory vs. a half-ton. My 98 sits at about 39" in the rear w/ 285s vs. my 97 sat at about 37" in the rear w/ 285s.
Did you have any rubbing with 285s on the 98? Also not sure if you would know or not but i think my leafs are starting to wear out a little. One side leans if you look at the tailgate, do you know where i could get new ones?
Normally that’s the first place I check. The one time I don’t check there lol. I wonder what the best brand would be.
The dayton has the highest rating at 3300 lbs, i never tow but more leafs add height which i like lol.
No rubbing, though I had to remove my nice mud flaps because they were too thick, so I had to get some cheap thin ones to keep the rocks from chipping the paint. When I had it at the factory rake, 265s rubbed when I had 4" bs wheels, I was kinda pissed because I wasn't able to run the rims I wanted, but it was the bs of them that was affecting it, which I didn't realize at the time. Once I was able to have the truck leveled, I was able to run some 4.25" bs wheels (which I have on now, used to be my dad's) and they don't rub, thankfully.
It aggravates me so bad that it leans! Ill have to look into the leafs soon. Do you think 285s would rub with 4.5 bs? I know nothing about bs lol.No rubbing, though I had to remove my nice mud flaps because they were too thick, so I had to get some cheap thin ones to keep the rocks from chipping the paint.

From what I have read online, the Husky leafs on RockAuto are good. I noticed my 97 too is starting to lean on one side so I'm probably going to need new leafs in the future if I plan on driving it another few years.
Oh and also i was wondering do you have any pictures of how you mounted your light bar on the grille guard?No rubbing, though I had to remove my nice mud flaps because they were too thick, so I had to get some cheap thin ones to keep the rocks from chipping the paint.
