I went to www.discounttire.com. They have a pretty good selection and all kinds of calculators and different sizes that will work for the stock wheels. I might get me some of these but I don't know if I trust BFG yet. Only had bad experiences with them, but that was on a used truck that came with the tires and there was 68,000 miles on it when I got it. So who knows how long the tires had been on there before I used them. Anybody have any input on them?

BTW, Discount says we can run up to a 285/70-17 on the stock wheels. According to their calculator, that puts overall diameter at 32.71".

Anybody wanna help us out here?

if you crank the torsion bar you can go up to a 35" tire with min rubbing and 33" with no rubbing

Yeah, but torsion bars are only for the 4x4 guys. 2wd has a different setup. I've got my eye on some 3" leveling springs that I'm gonna be getting in a couple weeks. That should do the trick.
