Well number one stock rims will last longer than the truck will. So your in the market for rims when your ready to buy the rims. Secondly With a 2 inch lift in the front You can go all the way up too 35 inch tall tires. with out the level your kinda stuck with stock, maybe one size bigger. but the more aggressive you go the more chance of rubbing. . You'll find a lot of terra grappler fans.here, but Me personally have found some cool looking general tires, but you get what you pay for. Cooper also has a better looking design other than the zeons, did you check them out yet? cuz thats the way i'm leaning. I think there called ltz"s lesss thats what you have.

What's up with the no love for the Zeons? Tire got REAL popular, REAL fast but your the fifth guy in the last week between here and two other forums I'm on who is yanking them off in favor of another tire.
Are they wearing that fast or having issues?

i just picked up a set of goodyear wrangler A/T in a 275/65/20. I havent mounted them on my truck yet but my work truck has them and they've held up great so far. what dont you like about the coopers? As far as the nitto's go, ive heard nothing but good things but what deterred me from getting them is the price

The cooper zeons ltz are wearing really good im actually surprised.I just want a meatier tire the zeons are a pure street tire imo i did look at a few set of mud tires like the cooper sst,nitto trail grapplers and the nitto Hd grappler i do travel some gravel roads but i can also keep studs on tires year round here so if i can get a mudders that are siped and have studs would be the best for year round im just wondering if the nitto trail grappler this size would rub on a 07 4x4 reg cab stock suspension

LT305/55R20E2 trail grapplers

Discoverer STT33X12.50R20LT
would these fit on stock 20 rim?

LT305/55R20 or LT325/60R20 good year duratrack siped and studded )))

LT305/55R-20, Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrain Radial
325/50R-20, Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrain Radial

tell me what u guys think

I've got trail grapplers and they are really nice so far. Got about 10k on them and they still look new.
