I run 285/75/16's and when I burn through them I am going to be putting on 315/75/16's. I feel fully confident I can make them fit on stock suspension

I'd stick to 33's. I'm running 315/70/17's at stock height and on stock wheels. The tires rub the frame when turning so spacers are a must (or new wheels) and I had to cut 1 1/2" off the bumper to make them fit.

I have 285/70/17 they work fine. the speedo was almost right on so the original 265/70/17 must have been reading higher than actual. I also moved my front air susp bracket and adjusted the rear to give it the most lift with the stock susp.

Soldier, when you step up to the 315's, let me know. I know all the tricks for making the tires fit. How do you think I made my 37's clear. I have been down this road already and ran 35's for a month on my truck with no lift. So, I know where all the rubbing is going to be occurring. The big thing is sticking with 8" wide rims. You step up to 9" wide rims and you are going to have major issues. TRUST ME!!!!!!!!!!!
