I'd stick with 285's if you don't plan on lifting it. I didn't like the 35's and no lift, you couldn't flex much, just getting into my grandparents driveway would mac out the truck lol. That and scraping the tire on the bumper got real old real fast.

Hey guys, need some advice on what size tires to get. Right now I have 265/75/R16. I want to get a little bigger size but don't want to lose performance. Looking for the cheapest and simplest way to get a bigger tire to fill out space. Recommendations? Also would I need new wheels or should I get new wheels? Thanks

It seemed like the 305s would fit without any issues but I may go 285 first then 295 or 305 once I get a little more power to the ground. Mines totally stock as of right now. Haven't even touched the torsion bars yet.
Got to put my own touches on it still.

I ended up going with 4:10 gearing and installing new axles and bearings. Went with ATX Artillery wheel with 295-70-17 Nitto Trail grapplers. Cranked torsion bars to 24.25" and added 2" blocks to the rear to level out. I took it to Arizona Dyno Chip to re-calibrate shift points and speedometer.
