Depends on your goals and what tires you want to fit.

I see you've got an 08, is it 4x4?

A 2" leveling kit will run you about $75, and will lift the front of your truck fairly even with the rear. Takes about an hour a side for the install, and you'll need to get it aligned.

Depends on what your looking for. Largest size that will fit with a level on stock wheels is around 33" x 12.00 without rubbing.
