That link should help you out.

Hankooks are actually a very underrated tire when it comes to off road and mud. They were tested against many other more aggressive tread patterns, like the pitbull rockers, and they outperformed them. People swear by the Nitto Trails around here but it is the bandwagon tire at the moment. Toyos are a great tire all the way around. But you might want to look into the New Pro-Comp treads and see what you think about them.
Wow definitely great link those prices are even better then tire rack

Well, to be honest, the BL is the only mod I really don't like. Truck is too tall for my garage, too tall for parking garages, too tall for car wash. If I could, I'd like to take the body lift off someday, but they're a PITA to do on these 04-08 trucks.

6" with 35s is still big and a better daily driver.

If you measure the rear blocks it would help determine what size lift. Also you can probably look at the torsion bar drop bracket to see what brand it is.

Glad I could help. They may have more in the metric sizes but I didn't go that in depth. 315/70/17 or 305/75/17 maybe

Ever consider BFG? I get my tires for about $450 a tire here in Canada no problem installed and everything so your price range is pretty reasonable and should get you a good set of tires no problem.

I had a set of their old mud terrains. They were awesome. Lasted a really long time.

But the last pair I had were the all terrains. I didn't have good luck with them. I found they weren't very good on wet pavement. My *** end was all over the place whenever it rained. Very annoying. I replaced them with firestone destination a/t. Huge difference, and they were a lot cheaper. Ever try those?

Bfg is a bit out of my price range at the moment haha I really am like the general grappler red letters they would go great with the black truck.

I've always liked those too and I have heard good things. I don't know how long they last though. Oh but I know they do get loud as they get old.
