Default Tire advice


New to the site! 2010 Platinum Screw. Just ordered Bilstein 5100s all around. Plan on 2nd to highest setting. Can anyone recommend largest tires without having to trim? Stock is 275/55/20 but I want to go bigger and more aggressive. Have been looking at Revos and BFGs. Is the 275/65/20 too tall?

Thanks 14...other than Bedliner I haven't done anything to truck, but after checking out this site and all that can be done, I've got the itch to start modifying....this could get expensive!!

Hey Randy, you got a pic? Also, did you put bilsteins on the back too? And for the front are you at the 1.5 or 2.25 setting? I don't think mine have exact 2" setting? And how is the road noise with those BFGs?

Hi again mine is set at 2.25 up front and stock shocks in the rear.I don,t think there is any noise from the stock 275/55/r20 Pirelli tires to the BFG Ko2 which I find drive a lot nicer.I will try and send you some pictures and can not get it to work right now.Randy

Here is a pic of my truck with a smaller(275/60/20) tire than yours. They are KO2's and they do have some road noise but not bad,they ride very good though and look fantastic compared to the stock pirellis.I do have the front leveled as well. Tire advice-image-463333632.jpg
