I'm 95% sure hes running 33's or a tire size thats a hair larger like a 285 80 16 or something like that. With the body lift and leveling kit you can run 33s no problem. I have the Trailmaster leveling kit and i'm running 32's.

Thanks. I don't think there is room to go very wide, so I'm kind of aiming for 285/70-17's. I don't know it you can go much bigger than that. If so, please let me know.

Sleds, can you take a picture of the hitch? I would like to see how low it sits.

nice truck! im running 285/75,s.... you will have a "slight" rub at full lock with M/T,s but if you go with all terrain rubber you will be fine!

looks good, 2 things you need to do now, find a nice set of gap guards for the rear spacing, and get some nice gloss frame paint and give it a nice shine
