Question Need some advice.

I have a 2000 reg cab f150 flareside. The tires I have on it now are Bridgestone Dueler AT...P265/70R16 111S. They came on it when I bought it, but I am looking to go a little bigger. Any suggestions would be welcome and appreciated. I have jacked the front up with the torsion bars to level it out, but other than that, no other lift has been done to it, so the tires need to fit under the stock suspension.

I'd suggest going to a 305/70-16 (33x12.50) on a 16x10 inch wheel. To fit this combo, you will have to trim a little plastic off the front bumper's lower valance. In my opinion, this is the best looking combo on a stock 4x4. If you plan on keeping the stock wheels forever, I'd go with a 285/75-16 (33x11.50) tire. They are about an inch wider and taller than your 265/75-16's(32x10.50).

Do you know about how much that would lift the truck from the tires alone? I don't want it to get too tall, because it might not fit in the garage!

Since you will be going with a tire an inch taller, it will make the overall height of your truck 1/2 inch taller.
