which size tires

I have a 2006 f150 scab with a leveling kit. I currently have 275/70-18s but am looking to change. I am trying to decide between Toyo AT2 in a 285/75-18 or 295/70-18. What do you all think

I'd go 295/70-18. its only a half inch smaller than the 285/75-18. 35s seem a bit too much for just a leveling kit imo. they'll fit but i think the 295/70-18 is closer to a 34.5" so itll give you a little bit of extra room in the wheel well. 35's on a level don't look practical to me but hey thats just me

I'm leaning more towards the 295s for that reason.

Go for the 295s. A little wider and a little shorter than the other. Better combination. I hate the way 35"s look stuffed under a leveling kit, and 33"s aren't enough. I enjoy the look of my 34" overall 295/60-20 Trail Grapplers.
