looking for duelly tires but have some ?

I want to up grade my tires a little taller and beefier. What is the widest tire I can put in the back with out rubbing on stock rims. I am planning on putting a 3 inch lift at the same time so i was thinking like a 33 or a 35. I have 4.10 gears so its not a big deal. Also where can I find them? thanks

I've done this research for my own vehicle, and after many moons, I came up with this. You can run a 285/70-17 but you really have to pay attention to air pressure. If the tires lose too much air they will rub.

Caveat: I don't have these on my truck, this is the result of my research.

Yeah throw on a wheel spacer in the rear and you'll be fine....... and with a 3" lift you will be able to clear 33"s easily....35's may or may not rub..

You don't have 4.10's because you can't get a 6-speed with 4.10 gears.

I am running propane. Triple Dog with OUTLOOK And a gear vendors overdrive.
Truck sees a lot of hwy. And some towing. { 32 ft. 5th wheel, 28 ft. goose neck, 14 ft. dump trailer.
What tires would you all recommend and size. And what width spacers.
Thanks

Cant order or get a 4.10 ratio for the six speeds on the 06's. I know, I just ordered one. They only come with 3.73's and I dont know why you would want 4.10s for the six speed overdrive.
