    I'd go with a 295/55/20 (33/11.5) or so but also a 305/50/20 (32.5/12)

    I believe any tire bigger than 33" will require a wider wheel than the stock ones
    which tires are you thinking about getting?

    Ok guys, here's whats going on.

    Looking at the tuff country 2" leveling kit and toyo mud terrains 33x12.50x20; is this going to work? Per the tire shop it will work. Seems king of wide, but if l have to trim a little plastic no big deal.

    Right now l have stock height with 275/55/20, l want some agressive looking tires which it should have had from the factory for a 4x4, go figure.

    So let me know guys what u think and what u have on your truck.

    those tires and size will fit fine on your truck and will look great with the leveling kit. Toyo MT are also a great tire

    I just got a levelling kit put on my 04 Sierra and they cranked the front end 1 3/4 inches to level and was told by severall tire suppliers that the biggest I could run with no problems is a 285/75/16 on stock rims which is a 33" tire and a 11.5 section width
