When I bought the truck it had 38x14.50x16s on in and scrubbed really bad when turning. So, I replaced w/ 37x12.50x16s because I couldn't find narrower w/o going shorter. I want as much height as possible to fill in the fender, but need narrower than 14.5 to be able to turn the wheels. I went from Pro Comps to Nitto Mud Grapplers. I do like an aggressive tread. What say you to get taller, but still be able to turn the wheel w/o getting all jacked up on the suspension.

I've thought about wheel spacers, but concerned w/ it weakening the whole wheel/tire thing. And, I don't particularly care for the tires sticking out that far. I guess I could get fender flares?

Anyone know of a tire maker that has narrow and tall tires w/ aggressive tread? To be fair, I haven't even began to look around this time.
 
Anyway of running your torsion keys up ? It will let you cheat and get some lift out of front, I know on Gm trucks.

I have no idea.

ETA: I have plenty of lift. It isn't the height that is the problem. It's the width. They don't scrub on the fenders, they scrub on the inside leaf springs.
