Did you lift your bed when you added 16.00's?
I saw, somewhere, that a guy welded 1/4” plate under the bed where the wheel would contact, in order to keep the braces from tearing up his treads.- Buffalobwana

If you don’t raise it, do your tires a favor and weld a nice wide piece of 1/4” or 3/8” flat steel where the tire would normally bite the bottom of the bed. At least this way you won’t loose chunks of your tire to the bed frame.- Buffalobwana

They didn’t think we would put 16.00’s on it either. That would just be plumb stoopid!!- Buffalobwana

We 16'd this one the other day and simply jacking it up to change the tire, you could see how easily it would rub. We will have to put a 4x in there.- Buffalobwana

Yeah, someone responded to a thread earlier this week about clearance. Said that with no load in the bed of his 923(A2?), his tires rubbed lightly at full articulation.- Buffalobwana

Common sense would tell me to lift the bed 2" since you added 4" of tire. Also, since 14.00's rub the bed slightly, how about switching that 1x board that is between bed and rail now, for a 4x4? I saw a pic from 98G where it was done. Anyone else do it?- Buffalobwana
