Default Lifting A Dually

Im looking around for some help to get tires and rims for my dually, im getting ready to put a 6" lift on a 2000 F350. i still plan on doing some towing ( 7-8k ) every now and then, i was hoping i could get some feed back with someone who knows a good set-up of tires and rims for my application. thank you for your time

semi wheels and tires are the best BUT you could go with a 10 ply 305/85/16 Buckshot Radial mud tire, they measure 36x10.50x16........call National Tire and Wheel in Wheeling WV and they can hook you up with a set..........for wheels i would go with a classis 16x6 8 hole aluminum, cheap and very effective.......

If I was doing this to my truck. I would look up No limit off road for the lift and OC wheels for the wheel and tires.

Both can be found Diesel Bombers Sponsors - Diesel Bombers

I would do the 22.5" semi wheels if it was my truck but i dunno what your budget entails. Just get some chome wheels and tires that are equipped right to hold the load and you should be fine.

I like the 22.5's if the truck is set up right, some trucks it looks ghetto to me. Especially on the lowered dually trucks.
