Default getting higher!

I am new to this site,And got a couple questions.. First,Ive been into the custom truck scene for some time,and have always had a dodge.. last truck was a 02 quad, lowered,custom paint, etc,etc..nice. But Ive grown tired of the low lifestyle! I now have an 07 lonestar quad cab 4x4,which is soon to go under construction.. Heres the question i have as this is my first 4 wheel drive. I am taking the stock 20s off,and buying the moto metal 909s, 18" rims,but want to go with bigger rubber. My truck is stock height now,what is the biggest rubber to go with and not have any clearance issues,turning etc..? I was thinking 33" tires? say, 285/65/18 nitto trail grapplers. preciate the help,and by the way is there anyone here from around the sherman tx. area

Welcome, level it and go 35s with a 4.5 back spacing. Still saving for my tires, but several on here have said it works with a little "trimming" in the wheel well.

35" tires should work. I had them on my leveled 03. They would look much better, 33" tires are the stock size with 20" rims.
