Yup. I have a 3" body lift and 35s. Your best bet with no lift is 285/75/16 or 305/75/16 or 33/12.50/16.

I'm still not hip on the sizes.

285/70/17 is like 32.7" give or take, 305/70/17 is a 34" get 305s if you don't lift it or do a 3" body with some 35s. Those sizings are pretty much the same for a 16" rim too

Thanks, i'm planning on doing the lift first cause the four rear plug/cops are hard to get to with the way it is now. I figure if I lift the body at least the engine will move down 3" and make it easier to work on, lol, of course it'll be higher up but a ladder will take care of that. Then I can get me some 35's, both projects will probably take me like 4 months, with everything I have going on right now.
Thanks for the info.....
