how big on tires

i have very little experiance with tires, but i was wondering how big of tires can i put on my stock 04 xlt 4x4 reg cab. What will the consequenses be if any and what is the range of price im looking at. Will bigger tires make the truck look like it sits higher.

my current tire size is 235 75r 17

Thanks for the help

Go with 285-70-17, bfg's about 180.00 per tire. Gives it a good look. I would level her out to.

I went to Wal-Mart last week to see if they had them. They have them for $137 and I THINK it even included balance and mounting...

No trimming required. The right front used to barely touch the frame at full lock, but now with a couple of thousand miles on them no more. I'll see if I can post a small video of it moving for ya.
