Cool Tire size?

I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500 4x4 5.9 with, i belive a 2.5 leveling kit. i just bought it and i want bigger tires. Theres 265 75 16 on it now, i want to put 315 75 16 MT but i dont know if they will fit without a body lift. Or should i do 305 75 16? Id rather have 315's. But will they fit?

Welcome to the forum!

315/75R16 is basically a 35" tire. From what I've read, thats the most you could do with that leveling kit, and you may have a some rubbing at full lock.

I run 35s on my truck with a 3" lift and I don't rub. It depends a lot on what wheels you'll be using. The backspacing and width are important.
