oh and to let everyone know i am doing a 2in suspension lift and 3 in body
 






The biggest tire that will (safely) fit on a stock 15" would be a 33x10.50, which is tall but narrow, and what will probably fit with a 2 in suspension and 2 or 3 in body lift.

31x10.50 will fit on a stock truck, no lift needed.

32x10.50 might rub without lift, but a small torsion twist and shackles/AAL in the rear will take care of that, or just a 2 inch body lift.


Gearing matters a lot when going up in tire size. If you put on larger tires, but have high factory gears, the ride is gonna be slow and the engine will bog down a lot.

It's easiest to just go with 31's on stock 15's until you can do the gears, lift and big tires all at once.
