Suggestions on new tires?

I have a 2006 model. I have the stock 17 inch rims and would like to keep them. I have a KORE suspension on which leveled the truck, lifting the front 3 inches and the back 1 inch.

Anybody have a similar setup and what size and brand of larger tire have you used with no issues of rubbing? If you have pictures I would like to see them.

I don't have the same set up but I use to run Toyo MT's on the stock 17 inch rims, looked great. You should be able to run 35's no problem. Toyo's seem to very popular tire, great looking, long lasting MT tire, I noticed very little noise increase when I changed from the BFG's.

Toyo 35" MTs. One of the best looking tires, IMO!

Just purchased a set of Open Country A/T's. Have about 500 miles on them. So far so good; Great looking tires!

Thanks for the info. I will look at a set of 35's. All the brands mentioned look good. Will have to see what I can get in my area.

I've had many sets of the Toyo A/Ts and I'm nnow on my 1st set of Toyo M/Ts and they aren't quiet by any means. THey are as loud if not louder than BFGs, but I still like them. I'll buy a set of Toyo A/Ts next, I really like those tires and these trucks don't eat them up as bad.

I just got the DuraGrapplers in 285/70-17s. They seem like they will be a great long lasting tire. I'm not sure how well they will do off road but I don't go there anyways. I only wish I would have gotten a larger size just for the looks but I don't know if they make them larger than 285s. DiscountTireDirect......
