Anything will fit if youre willing to cut lol. As far as the gears go youre really gonna notice the bigger tires but if you leave OD off and take it easy you should be fine till income tax time.

i have a 2500.. but i have a 2.5in level kit in the front and i use to run that same tire in the winter 36x1250x16 i had mine on 16x10 weld wheels..

they did rub when i was off road and hit a big bumper or turning and going into a drive way but for the most part i had no problems...

but i know 1500s sit lower so idk how much lower but... thats just my .2 cents

Buy them, like, NOW. Stick them in your garage. Save for the 5" lift of your choice. Install. Have a sweet chick machine with nice stock fenders.

lol...ditto... without the gears being changed you may have a hard time paying for gas... it will be a dog and hard on the transmission until this is done. (like towing a trailer dog)
