old skool luvr is a glorious beacon of light

OMG!!! i think everytime this topic gets posted, the poster sholud be made to write out "i will use the search function on BF.com" 1000 times!!!

brother, this subject has been talked to death-in fact i'm pretty sure this is the 3rd or 4th time in the last week it's been asked.

one big question-is your truck 2WD or 4WD? their ride heights are a little different.

i'm gonna assume (and i hate using that word, for obvious reasons) that your truck is a 4x4. the wheels don't matter, just so long as they're for the right vehicle, ie; 4WD rims on a 4x4, not 2WD rims on a 4x4. and you can't fit 4WD rims on a 2WD-they'll hit.

soooooo, the answer to your question.............on a stock 4x4, with a little fender triming, you can fit a max tire size of 31x10.5x15. if you don't want to trim anything try 30x9.5x15.

there are gonna be people saying you can do a t-bar crank & rear shackles for a 2" gain, but you were asking for stock suspension sizes, so that's where i'm gonna leave it.

30x9.5r15's

"some" 31's do not equal out to a true 31 inches, but youd be doing alot of measuring to make sure they would fit, so the maximum height without doing all this measuring is 30x9.50r15
