On a 4x2? You can fit 285/75-16's (33x11.50) using the OEM 16x7 wheels or an aftermarket 16x8 with 4.5 inches of backspacing.

i appreciate it, and yes a 4x2. With just the 2 inch level kit i shouldnt have any problem with rubbing or having to buy aftermarket control arms?

No, but you may need to buy adjustable camber bolts to be able to get the alignment within specs. Some trucks do, some don't. Since they are only about $40, I'd go ahead and install them while you have the suspension apart.

$40 total? And alrighty I appreciate it. What's your opinion on how some 285s would look on there with the stock rims? It wouldn't be for long but just for when I get the tires rims will follow shortly.

285's will look fine on stock wheels.
