Hey I know there a million forums on "what lift should i get?," but I am pretty dead set on the SLR Stage I 3" suspension lift with the Nitto Terra Grappler 285/75/16's (roughly 32") and wanted to know what you more experienced guys thought about it. I know some of you would see it as blasphemy to do this to a 2WD but I do as much offroading as it will let me. Anyways help me out with any advice or problems ya'll see with the above package. Also tell me how difficult the install on the SL will be.

More than likely you will need to add a small (1" - 2") body lift to clear that size tire (33in. Equilv.)

When you order the SL talk to SLR about that tire size and ask about the smallest BL you can get to clear the tires.

If you want to avoid the BL then you need to stick with a 32" (265/75/16) tire.

And if you want something different tire wise, I'd seriously consider the Toyo Open Country M/T as an alternative to the Nitto.

Nitto specs that tire @ 32.68" in the size you listed. 265/75/16 is very close to a 32" tire and maybe more applicable if you're just doing the suspension lift.
