New here, but have been hanging around as a guest for a while.

Thought I would chime in.

Stock wheels were 265/70/16 for my 03 DD SXT 4x4. I then purchased a 2-3" T/S Kit. Once verifying I had a 8" wide rim (to prevent doming). I opted for the largest tire I read I could get, so I purchased a set of 285/75/16 (Mastercraft Coarser AXT - these are a Cooper Tire). That equates to approx a 33x11.25 tire

With the new T/S kit and tires, I had the tire shop do an alignment and all has been good since Dec 2012 when I had this done.

As for rubbing, I had some as the outer lug of the tire (this tire has an aggressive tread pattern) rubbed on the lower inner portion of the front bumper (where it curves in) I trimmed it back about 1/2" or so and all is good.

I then put on a new set of shocks,as the shocks on there were dead.

Here are some photos (before and after):

Here is what it looks like compared to a stock DD. Pardon to blurriness, It was dark, and I did not want to raise suspicions in case the owner came out of the store.
