33" no problem
34" trim or raise torsion bar
35" trim and torsion bar

How much do you want to spend?

You have either 16x7's or 17x7.5 inch wheels. You can easily fit 33's whether you go with 285/75-16's, 285/70-17's (33x11.50), 305/70-16 (33x12.50) or 33x12.50-17's. Also, for the money, the Nitto Terra Grapplers are probably the best value. They are just as good as BFG AT KO's, but less expensive.

I've got the 17x 17.5 inch wheels. So if I go with either one of the tire sizes you got listed I won't have a problem with keeping the stock wheels on my truck? Or do I have to go with the
33x12.5-17's or 285/70-17's. Thanks for the reply.

i just put on 315/75/12.5 on a 16x10 wheel. they look sharp!!! im a 2x4 with 7.5'' lift, and i had to hammer at my fenders so i wouldnt get rub when i turned. ive got the 4.6 v8 and have not noticed a difference in power and tork. but i will have to regear asap... my gas milage is at 9.5 mpg instead if 16. im also about an inch higher than you. go with the 305s. check out the nitto terra grplers and mud terrain. keep in mind there website does them no justice!!!

If you are gonna use the stock 17x7.5 inch wheels, I'd go with a 285/70-17, 295/70-17 or 33x12.50-17.
