Paraptor, it was hard to measure the slide side. My tape measure case is labeled as 3" and I could just barely get it between the top of the tire and the bottom of the slide. I was actually pushing up on the "membrane" that covers the bottom of the slide. So I would say barely 3". That would leave me 2-1/2" with the 85s. I have no idea how much the suspension travels and don't want to find out the hard way that it "can" travel 2-1/2". That doesn't seem like a lot to play with to me. So I'm playing it safe there and taking the 880 lbs of reserve per tire with the 80s. And as we've discussed about many things, there are a lot of differences between yours and mine in just one model year. Who knows if that clearance is the same on yours and mine?
