4.5" DR lift

I'm planning on installing a DR 4.5" lift on my 2005 F-250 4X4. What is the best tire size for that lift? I was thinking 36" or maybe 38". I want to run 20" wheels.

I just bought an 05 with the DR 4.5 kit on it. I have 325/65R20 on it with no problems. I am actually going to get rid of them for some 35's on 17" wheels. 20"s are too bling for me. I know you can fit 37x12.50r17 on it with no problems.
