Maybe, but I've driven my truck through the last few hundred miles without a problem in multiple different scenarios. If I haven't had a problem yet I don't think I will.

I'd never guessed there'd be a real noticeable drop in power with all that torque 
... with a level or no lift the truck eats up the tucked in 37s on narrow wheels which is why I'd opt for a 35 on a wider wheel with a bit of offset on a level, a truck on a wider wheel with 35s will appear bigger than a truck on 37s with only a level or no lift.

I'm thinking of 285/75-18 on stock wheels.....but I was wondering if 305/75-18's would fit. 285's are just under 35 and 305's are about 36. just wondering if stock 18's are wide enough for 305's Anyone running 305's on stock 18's?

well, I swapped the tires back to the 37's.
they look way better and ride way better
I was getting rubbing on the driver side sway bar and both radius arms at full lock.
I removed the sway bar drop down brackets, which moved the sway bar back up, now I have no rubbing there.
still a little bit on the radius arms.
I am looking for new wheels anyway. a little less offset and I will be set
I am seeing the Carli 4.5" lift in my future so the 37s will be good!

they are fine. they look good. get occasional rub on the radius arms.
35s are a better fit IMO. Next set will be back to 295s on a slightly less offset wheel. scrapped the 4.5" system idea (for now)
