Thing is, i don't think my stock truck height is big enough. Its a 4x4, but has no lift yet.

Ohhh shoot. Yea I don't think you even have a prayer. I think you need AT LEAST 5-6" to clear those.

Buy them, keep the wheels, sell the tires.

i got a deal like that for my tires. buy them, and then save for a 6 inch lift. you will be very happy with how the truck looks/sits

edit: and if you really dont want a lift then you could always trim your fenders untill they fit. iv seen a guy fit a set of 40's on a stock 2nd gen 1500

Just a quick update: Decided to go with the 285/75 Wardens (BFG AT). I will let you all know how they are when they get here, it'll probably be a couple weeks. Thanks for all of the advice!

Thats why I cancelled my order. Said it would be a couple weeks before they shipped even though they had them in stock. Didnt sound right to me, plus needed tires ASAP. Basically, I couldnt afford to wait a couple more weeks.

Really a couple wks? I'm thinking bout gettin 2 285s in the bfg pattern for the back of my dodge for this winter (2 fronts are a hybrid mt/at so they should do fine) to replace the almost bald mts, I think this combo will get me by till tax time, then ill buy 2 more to replace the fronts

They said 5-7 days usually but I ordered specifically the BFG AT sidewall with RWL so they said that might take longer.

^^ Just make sure you have 285's already, that'll wreak havoc on the ol transfer case if you have different front and back.
