So after weeks of research I finally ordered a new set of tires. After spending some time poking around under the hood and under my truck I was able to find out some interesting facts. My 99 2500 has dana 60s front and rear ( I already knew this). But what I did not know was that my gears are 4.10s. So the choice to go with the 285s was made easier. And soon to come will be a superchips tuner. Thanks for all the advice.

 

What kind/brand of tire?

 

Kumho Road Venture ATs. I've read many good things about them, and some bad, but at $137 a tire the decision was easier than the Nittos that were $180 a tire.

 

you could have gone with 35s without a problem as well

 

I like there MT that will be my next set.

 

Yeah, Im going with a 285 when I get back. Helms, with a stock 1500, off road package, I need about 2in spacers front and rear to clear 35's right???

 

the rear will clear at stock height, but you will have to pull the front end up a bit, im runnin a 2.5" spacer with a 2500 truck, so you might want to go 2.5" as well. then you will have to lift the rear about 1.5" or 2" to level it out again... especially with that 300lbs deer trap on your frontend, lol

 

Its for the moose.....and the tundra wookies!!! Thanks for the info.
