This is my 99 H/T ....
I run 255 / 50 / 17 on the front, and 295 / 45 / 18 on the rear.
I had to raise the car as high as the adjustments would allow... been like this for over 3 years now.
No problems.

A 295/45/18 is 28.4" tall! This will be the same as swapping 3.20 rear axle gears in place of 3.42.

no its the opposite a bigger tire is harder for the car to lauch its like going from a 3.42 (low gear ratio) to a 3.22(higer gear ratio) Dosen't that make better sense
