Looks good. The biggest you can got I believe is 35's I had 33's on stock with no rubbing now got a 3" leveling and they said 35's are the biggest so I imagine the 2.5" is the same.

The truck looks good man, but is it my imagination or does the truck still nose dive? Or is it because teh grill gaurd is on there? I'm thinking about a 2.5" but i want to sit perfectly level.

Looks good. Like said the biggest tire you could go with would be equavilent to a 35x12.50 with the stock rims. Is that a Westin Guard on the truck?

I like how it kind of flows with the truck lines. It looks to be pretty sturdy. I was thinking about getting one and getting it sprayed with Line-X because of the salt air down here.
