I put 235/75R15 tires on all my Eagles. I do not lift them. You can read about how exactly I do this in my most recent post on page 3 of my project thread:

that link does not work any more can anyone point me to the place I can find out the best way to fit 235's on my rig. did the add a leaf to the rear getting the front spacers 1" installed next week. (they were suppose to go in last week but I must have ordered the wrong part from jegs)
was hoping not to cut much out of the front fenders.

Horrible! At least off the line. Was okay with my 2.72s but definitely better with the 3.08 I put in.
