I run 295 75 16 BFG AT on my 2003. I do have the x-springs on the front. It rides much better then with the factory 265 75 16.

Dunlop Radial Rover A/T

Someone asked about the Dunlop Radial Rover A/Ts. I put a set of 285 75 R 16s on my '97 F250 a few years ago and have been extremely pleased. They look great, have worn very well, are as quiet as the stock tires and give outstanding traction in all weather (I plow in the winter). These are the least expensive 285s around ($98 each from TireRack) and I am definitely putting them on my next truck. I don't really understand why such a great tire at such a great price doesn't get mentioned more, but after trying several other tires over the years, I'm sold.

I have a 1999 f350 4x4 with 135k mile I love my 285-75-16's They are Liberator All-terrain. Bought them @ Wallmart On-line for $90 each. The ride is nice and they are great in the rain and snow. Iwas going to buy a secound set just in case they discontinue. Good luck.
