Default what should i do to my truck and size tires will fit

new to the forum and was wondering what size tires i can fit under my truck and where to get some good used ones for cheap, oh tires that i can go play in the mud with then hop on the road and drive home with them on. i got a 99 dodge ram 1500 sport with the 360 motor in it that im soon puting a airraid cold air intake on it with a high flow K&N airfilter to let it breath, i got the towing package so i believe it should have a trany cooler. i traded a quad that i had 80bucks into for the truck and have been puting time and money into it whenever i can, i got roll bar with 4 KC light, brush gaurd off a old fire truck, moon visor, and a couple other goodies to make it look bad *** and do wat i need it to do. back to the topic um i got some 15inch rims i would like to put biger tires on but not sure wat will fit, i dont have a lift in it yet but will by end of the year. im thinking 33s would be perfect but can i go bigger? oh im located in WI la crosse incase u know a place with tires. also the hitch is rusted into the reciever any tips to get it out i dont want to heat it up and weakin it and i have took a mini sledge hammer to it and it didnt budge. any other helpful information about wat to do or get for it let me know thanks and i already replaced door speakers and stereo any help will be greatly appreciated!

With a 2.5 or 3" level kit, you can fit 33's without a problem. Might have to do some clearancing on the tierods, and calipers to fit 15" rims though. (varies from truck to truck, test fit, see what ya got.)

For the hitch, get some PB Blaster, or similar penetrating lubricant, and soak it down. Hit it a couple times a day, for a couple days..... and then thump on it with the hammer. It will eventually come loose. (been there, done that. )

Be sure to read the plenum thread stickied at the top of this forum. Common problem on these trucks.
