After a lengthy search; finally acquired Toyo Open Country A/T II's (285/75R17). I wanted the tallest tire while still utilizing the stock carrier. Well I found it!!

Very nice I was considering the same tire but I was going with a smaller size and the smaller sizes have a less aggressive tread pattern

Hey there, fellow Michigander. Nice looking rig!

I see you have a leving kit and wheel spacers. How much lift did the levling kit net? Did you have to install a spacer on the spare also to make them fit?

Glad you asked about a spacer. I forgot - I have brake light lugs on the spare and the kit came with 1/8" plastic washers so as not to crush the wires. 1/8" is small but it might make a big difference.

I didn't measure before and after on the lift but eyeballing and looking at prior photos I'd say a minimum of 2". It was more than I expected.
