Welcome aboard. What size rims, 17 or 20? And 285/what? Any should fit. You do have a lot of clearance.

you should be fine with those. i've got a 2wd 1500 and running a 305/50/20 in the summer and 285/65/18 in the winter with plenty of room. my stockers im running are 275/70/17 if it's a 2500 you should be able to fit up to a 315 as long as your rims are wide enough.
