This is your first post and I don't want to scare you off or leave you ticked off, but this question has been asked a thousand and one times here. Please use the ADVANCED SEARCH feature and look in this sub-forum for words like LARGEST, LEVELING, and TIRE or TIRES. You'll find quite a few answers ... which all give you roughly the same answer. Good luck.

All of that energy could have been used to just give him an answer too... Welcome to FTE Colt. Can you please define what your usage of the truck will be? Do you need full articulation, or will this be a boulevard queen? That will determine what the "true" largest size is.

You could fit 33's comfortably. Probably around 11.5"-12.5" wide tires at most depends on your rims.

I was tired of just giving the same answer over and over.

"Hand him fish and you've fed him for a day. Teach him to fish and you've fed him for a lifetime." That, or he'll sit in a boat drinking beer all day.

Yes, OEM versus aftermarket wheels can make quite a difference as well.

moto metal 955 20x10 rims with a toyo M/T 35x12.5x20 seems to be a very popular choice with guys. guy at work has them, and IMO, it makes the truck look amazing.

the only thing done to make it fit is a 2.5" leveling kit. some minor trimming of the splash guard may be necessary as well. I don't know the backspacing, but a good wheel/tire shop can get that fixed no problem for you.
