Would like to go up to 285's or maybe 295's.
Lift or no lift? Tires fit the truck well.

I would like a leveling kit at the very least but if I can fit them without a level I'll probably get some aggressive 285's

Beautiful truck. I think it would look even better with a level. Looks like the rear sits a little high.

How's your dip on the rims holding up? I dipped mine, I have similar wheels as you. Mine bubbled in small spots right away and it didn't seal well on the center hub caps over the lug nuts that's on my wheels

around the edges by the tire they had a little problem but I went over those areas a few times like 8 times. Even around the lug nuts I did the same thing. The only times I have to re-do it is when I get my tires rotated. It holds up real well to car washes.

Finally got my 2" leveling kit put on last Friday. My buddy's shop only had the 2" Tuff Country kit in and well I said to hell with it they're pretty much all the same anyway. So here she sits as of this past week. There is a slight rake.
