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 :)

just found out that iv got a 4" lift !

im going for a 2" body lift in the end , with spending a grand on simex and rims im gona go for the cheeper option and do the body lift

im gona need to go up as the pro comp tyres dont measure 35" and there very close to the arches on articulation

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 :?

I saw those swampers advertised and was tempted but to much strain on the drive train for me.
does look the dogs though. :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

That other one with 13 spots looks a bit suss.
As said too many front spots. Be ok if they were quality ones but the cheapo ones dont put out enough.
4 good ones does a better job without killing alternator ! :lol:
Bumper gap looks gash too !
Needed new mounts making or a decent fill panel :roll:
