tons of posts about this...just search. something like a 31 or 33 pending what he wants to deal with regarding rubbing.

Biggest he can go with without a body lift/suspension lift is 32/1150. I had to crank my torsion bars to fit my 32/1150/15's under my truck. If he does a body lift and cranks the torsion bars he can fit 33's

i dont think you need to crank the t bars for 33s? i thought you just needed the 3" BL..i may be wrong, i was going to anyway for the look and the "just in case" fact of it. But yeah he can only fit 31s stock, if you crank the t-bars you can get 32s on it, if you search it many have done that like dodgeramguy i do recall a thread when he put his tires on, and theeplaymaker also has a thread about it.

33s fit with 3" body lift with some minimal rubbing, that's what I'm running
