I would get ya a set of 35's seems to be the popular tire with that lift, the 305's would look alright, but the 35's would look better

Thanks

well you could always sell the ones you have now, that would cut some of it, you can get a set of 35's for around a 1,000 depends on what brand and what terrain you want, good luck on whatever you decide and make sure to get some pics

it will probably look too small for the truck being lifted 6".... I mean you could do it. I would still drive it if it were my truck... then just wear those 305s out and buy yourself some 35s next time around.

I had 33's when i had my body lift and my leveling kit on, it didn't look bad, but you get it tired of it after a couple weeks, seems like the tires shrink over night, lol

On a 2009 33'' on a 6'' lift will be way to small.

You can fit 37'' on the 2009 with only 6'' of lift.

35s will fill the wheel wells in nicely. I would suggest a 20" rim as well. It looks a lot nicer than 18s. You will be kicking yourself later if you stick with 33s.
