I'm not gonna be a whole lot of help on this but just to kind of get a response goin' for you. I believe the factory tire size is 265/70R17. I wouldn't go much wider than that with as sketchy as the front ends of these trucks are. There is a guy runnin' some 295 or 305's through town that look pretty good. Again, I would keep in mind the leveling kit, plus a wider front tire, might make the front end wander......hope that helps a little

and Welcome to DTR!

the leveling kit shouldnt make a big difference, it is a coil spacer and a longer shock, factory tire size is 235/80 r17

Factory tire size is 265/70r 17

With a 2" spacer, you can run up to 35" tire. Using the stock rim limits width some.

You can do 305/65r 17. I am not sure about 315's.

Lot's of guys run 315's. I had 305's and never rubbed. Now I have 34" tall Nitto's with no rub. 35's may rub a bit at full lock.

I don't think running wide tires on narrow rims is a smart idea. The manufacturer has recommended rims.
