I want the stiffest shock possible. I recently had the Rancho 9000 adjustable and really like those. Just wondering if the OME or Bilstein, etc. may be better FYI these two question pertain to a 95 Rangie LWB. Tires: What is the difference between a 255/85 and a 285/75?   Nadim Samara (Discodino) Senior Member Username: Discodino Post Number: 317 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 31, 2004 - 04:17 am:    The N73 are nice, there is also the N73L for the 7cm lifted Toyota 100 series (origins for the N73).

Here are the specs: 255/85/16 = 10.04" wide, 33.07" overall diam. 285/75/16 = 11.22" wide, 32.83" overall diam.
