new member w/ photos help me decide on rim size

Just finished painting and installing the vent visors, and 4x4 fender flares... now can't decide on a rim size. Right now I am stock height, but am thinking #bout doing 1 1/2- 2 1/2 body lift if needed

Only way you'd get that lift is a level or AAL no one makes body lift that size. 3 inch BL is the only thing! Welcome to the site

Skip the body lift and go with 2.5 inch level since your truck is an 05. Up to 35s fit with similar to stock backspacing. I stuck with 17s as I like lots of sidewall for more protection. Up to you if you want 17s up to 22s if that is your thing. What look do you like? Here is mine with 2 inch level and 315/70/17. About 34.5s.
