Stock tires suck

How big of a tire can i go on the factory rim without rubbing? Will i have to re-gear? I"m not sure what I have on the truck now for tire size but whatever factory is for a 150.

I've run BFG AT's before and they worked awesome year round but they are extremely pricey now...recommendations?

Read around the thread some.... There are several posts answering this question.... Well anyways the answer to your question is 33's with a stock setup. You can fit 35's with a leveling kit and on a rim that is almost identical to your stock one.

Keep in mind, that they may look like they "suck" but they put these tire sizes on for a reason.

Bigger tires mean slower acceleration, slower braking, higher center of gravity, and WORSE FUEL ECONOMY!

You'll be paying for those new tires long after the check clears.....
