You can go to Dodge's website and send their customer service your VIN number, asking for a build sheet. That'll tell you everything it came with from the factory.
When you say Lafayette, Twin City, are you referring to Twin City Dodge Chrysler, a dealership in Lafayette, Indiana?

Yes..exactly, Twin City Dodge Chrysler in Lafayette , Indiana, thats the place where the truck is coming from.
I could of course ask the seller if he knows something about the truck.
It was in June last year when I bought it.
I still have the sellers name and E-mail address.
If the truck is lifted a little maybe it is possible to use 295/75/16 tires then?
Anyway I will ask for a build sheet from Dodges website.
Thank's

you can def fit those tires on your stock rims, i have mystock rims on my truck still with 315/75/16. before i lifted the truck i had 285/75/16 comfortably and nothing rubbed. now its lifted and even with the 35's i barely rub on my control arms at full turn. sometimes if the truck is at hard angle (articulation) they rub but hardly ever.

He..he found a nice little tire calculator, the difference betwen 285/75/16 and
295/75/16 is only 0.6" ( 1.52 cm) in diameter, that is not much, have to go out and measure.

I use that tire calculator all the time, and this one too, it lets you compare several different sizes at once: http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCal...?action=submit
that the diameter difference is 8.86% and it should not be more than 3% otherwise it will give me break problems, ooooh...toooo bad, it would be nice with 295/75/16 if they fit and probably will.
Happy driving!
