FYI '04 owners:

Hadn't seen a write up on this yet so I thought I would pass some info along.

My setup is BFG AT 265/75R16, OME 3" lift. You WILL :mad: rub on your radius arms when turning. I am talking about a full-lock turn on the pavement. I was mesmerized by this because I had the same size tires and lift on my old truck('02) w/no rubbing. Apparently there was a steering box change for '04 so we actually have a tighter turning radius than prior DII's. There is a replacement bolt that has a longer head on it (almost an inch). LR part #TTE000010. Just picked mine up yesterday so I haven't looked to see where it goes yet. Looks like a longer steering stop. (With our club discount they were about $4 each)

Another fun fact: This weekend we measured my BFG AT's next to Goodyear MTR's. Both were same size - 265's. The BFG's were almost 3/4" taller. It may only rub with the BFG's.

Kai,
I'm assuming you did measure these in the same situation?

i.e. both mounted, on the same weight truck, same pressure, etc.?

If so, good info to know!
