Nice! What offset are the rims? Also did you have to put a custom kit together or does ready lift have something now?
Last question where did you get you alignment done afterwards? The Dealer?

I have had zero issues with the Recon Grappler 295-70-18 on the stock Timberline wheels. It fits the body lines well. I have 35x12.5x17 on my Raptor but when fitting them on the Timberline the clearance was tight so I went with the 295'sView attachment 75167

Those look great. Questions. How do they feel would a 295-65-18 be better (1" smaller diameter) or would 285-70-18 be better (3/4 smaller diam and 1/2 smaller width)

Looking to pull the trigger on 295-70-18 on my Timberline but want to make sure its the 100% best size.

How are the gears and shifts do you notice any difference?
Also did you re-cal the spedo and was it Forscan?

Nice! It's hard to tell from the pic. What brand vinyl tape do you go with to cover the chrome strip? Gloss black or did you find something to match the other black trim pieces?

This is what I used:

I would not hesitate to run a 295-70-18. I was initially a little concerned but the 3.5 HO motor has so much torque you wont notice much difference. I will migrate to a true 35” after some suspension and body mods become available.

Cool Thanks. Did you recalibrate the spedo?

No I didn’t - I didn’t do the calc but prob 3-4 mph doesn’t make any difference to me
