the 295/45 is huge compared to the 275/45 in both height and width. I got scared when i first mounted them up that they wouldnt fit. I have plenty of room height wise and they just line up with the fenders. I dont remember how much clearence I have with the leaf, I havent been in or under the truck in quite a few weeks (damn snow). But the 295s look B.A, and the KDWs are awesome!!

2004RST- If you want a set of Falken Stz-04s in 275/45/20 I have 2 in the garage (probly 80% tread) and two on the front of my truck(same tread %) that i'll gladly get rid of so i can buy my 265/50 20s kdws (bc they were too expensive to buy all 4 at once).
