Default Opinions on tire sizes

Got about 50k miles on my original Goodyears and it's gettin close to time for new ones. I plan on doing a 2" leveling kit when I get tires. Just lookin for everyone's opinion on what size tire would look best on the stock 20" chrome clad rims. I'd like to go a little bit bigger than stock.

Of course whatever anyone has on their truck, they will tell you it's best, so let me throw my 2cents in! I just did a 2inch level and put on BFG AT's 285/65/20 on the stock chromies and I love it. If I were to do another truck, I wouldn't change a thing. No rubbing, rides just like stock and the tires are quiet. Looks beefy enough to know I changed it up, all the while not blowing my wallet...hope this helps!

Yeah its funny you responded because in looking through recent threads your pics were my favorite. Like you said, its subtle, but you can see that somethings new. Anyone else have pics with other sizes?

Should be able to get up to 35" with a 2" leveling kit... I put 315/70R17 Wrangler Dura Tracs on mine with a 2" lift.
