Default What size Tires?

I have a friend that just lifted his 2006 SCAB 4WD with a 3" front and a 3" rear lift.

Kinda funny, he and I are always tweakin our trucks and surprise each other when we get together to see if we notice the changes. He didn't tell me that he lifted it.

I know because his wife just called me to ask what size tires he should get cause they look small now. She and her parents want to surprise him and give him the $$ for the tires. Kewl family.

He has stock 17" rims now.

Does anyone know what a good over sized tire would be with that setup? Nitto Grapplers 305's maybe?

UPDATE:

My buddy just called me and told me he installed a lift. Guess it's no longer a surprise.

3" front and 1" back. Paid $175 for the kits and installed himself. Took around 6 hours total and he's not overly mechanically inclined. Very handy but not a backyard mechanic.

He also told me that he couldn't afford tires right now cause he wanted 35"s and new wheels too and he's lookin at $2,000+ for that.

So, for now, he's gonna keep his tires.

BTW... his current AT tires are only 2 months old.
