im not expert but I'm pretty sure you can go up to 33's. I ran 305/55R20's on my old truck, the width was perfect but the 55 ratio was a little thin, if I did it again I would go up to a 60.

I think the stock 20" tires (275/60-20) are close to 33" tall.
I say youre good with 35"

At one time,I had the Goodyear SRA 305/60/R20 tires on my truck before I lifted it.They are a 34.4" tire...At the factory stance,that is the largest tire to fit without rubbing.....

The 275/60/20 is a 33 inch tire exactly. I'm in the process of ditching the Goodyears for something else. Undecided if I want a street tire or AT. Looking at the Cooper Zeon LTZ. Ratings are very good on them.

Im late coming in of this one. Ive been looking. With the tire sizes listed above, would that be the max for a 2010 Ram 1500 w/4x4. What would be good for a front level, and would it be worth it. Thanks

I will tell you now that the coopers are amazing. They have excellent traction in everything but very sticky mud. But I will warn you that they do sing a bit down the road. you barely notice it but it is there. That being said I have about 10k miles on mine and those are very hard miles and they are holding up amazing. I'm looking to get around 40k miles out of them.
