I believe the best way to find out is measure you truck and see which it will take to actually level the truck. You can do this by measuring from the center of the wheel up to the bottom of the fender. Do this front and rear and see what the difference is.

I have bought tires and wheels online before from rimzononline.com and they mounted and balanced them for me so I had them installed in minutes. I saved a ton too.
