I think it up to your own personal taste. But I believe at least 31's or better yet 33's

I think 33s will rub. You're probably better off with 31s. Just my personal opinion.

I have a body lift, lifted the front an inch with torsion bars, and fit 32s without rubbing.

Without any kind of lift 31's will be the max size you can go, altho they may rub on hard turns. Body lifts are fairly cheap, easy to install and will allow larger tire sizes.

I've used Duratracs and I currently have STTs on my truck. I would say you can't go wrong with either one.

Uh oh, got the blocks in and the steering is blocked by the Aftermarket headers.

Might have To modify the header or find stock manifolds.
Or

Does anyone have this 3" lift with headers on? If so what kind?
