You'll regret it mate, trust me.
I have a 2" lift and I went for 245/70 - they're just too small. They dont fill the arches properly and there's not enough clearance under the diffs. If you feel you must go 235, go 235/85 or like me, you'll be looking to change after 12 months.

If you're dead set on a small size, I've got 5 245/70/16 BFG AT's here with 10,000 miles on em going cheap. You can even take them on the alloy (4 of and 1 steel) if you want :)

I had 36 Simex on a 90, and had to lift it to 4 inches...
It really ruined it..
I'm even considering swapping my part worn 35 Simex for some 33 BFG MT's (pm me if ya wanna, must be set of 5)

my 4 100watt roof ones are plenty for my liking . besides  lower lighting on that would be poor anyway. lets face it there must be 10 spare lights in the shed now but wats the point in fitting all at the front  :?

Dump a few lights and raise the bumper and that would be a nice looking truck :roll:
