I NEED HELP TOO. Here is my SCREW 4x4 w/ 6.5ft bed. Pictured with factory 17" rims and BF Goodrich "Long Trail" 255/70/R17. The tires are just too small for this truck and they are now bald so time to upgrade. I am sticking with the factory rims and I am looking at an adjustable maybe 1-1.5" front shock system IF needed. I don't want it completely levelled. I go camping often and once in a while pull a small boat and always loading down the bed of my truck. I do not want the rear to sag in my truck. I am aware of AAL but quite honestly i am on a budget but at the same time not wanting to put much stress on the front end with a level kit. This is an everyday driver and hoping not to lower the MPGs too much as im only getting 15 to begin with. So i want bigger tires that i think will automatically give it a tougher look and possibly adjustable (bilstein or rancho) front shock. From what i see, 275/70/17 or 285/70/17 are the largest i can go without an adjustable shock or level kit (maybe another question is how big can i go with just a 1" raise in the front). Or do i go with 285/65/17? Im not off road bery often unless im trying to get to the shooting range or a sweet fishing hole camp site off the beaten path. The shear weight of my truck makes it easier to pull out of swampy conditions Any suggestions or thoughts please?

I've got my rims I've just been a slouch on trying to decide which tire to go with that would look good on our big trucks. I am 99% sure that I am going with a 275/65/20 (34"x11") Nitto Terra Grappler. I have even gone as far as to put them on will call to pick them up lol.
