Default What size under a leveling kit?

1999 dodge ram 1500 2wd got a 3.5 inch level on the front. Just wondering how big I can do? I got 22" rims. I dont care how stupid you think that sounds. I just need information not opinions currently have 285/45/22 easily under.

285's are probably as big as you can go without running into things.

Also, the 3.5 inches of lift is going to do terrible things to your balljoints....

305/45/22 is the biggest I think you could clear, thats pretty much the last tire size before you jump to a 35.

tatitup8- how do you have 3.5" of lift in the front....pretty sure this is what dodgeram07 was trying to figure out

285/70/17 would a 33x11.5
