I think I have decided on the S/T Maxx..
I can't decide the size but I am thinking I can go with this and the bils at 2.1"
LT285/60R20 125\122Q E BLK 8 - 10 8.5 11.3 33.62 64 3640 18.

Or these
LT295/55R20 123\120Q E BLK 8 - 10 9.5 12.1 32.95

Then there are these but then I would probably go 2.8" on the bils but scared they would look to skinny with the Laramie flares
LT275/65R20 126\123Q E BLK 7.5 - 9.5 8 11.1 34.17

The truck is a 16 Laramie with the 20x9 factory rims. The truck is 90% of the time on the highway. I dint think i would have to worry about any of these sizes rubbing. Any thoughts wither size and bilstein setting.
Thanks

I think a 295/60R20 on factory 20's looks great with bils at 2.1, there's several with that size

I think I am going 275 65 20 with Bils at 2.1. The little bit I get this truck offroad that should be fine.

fyi
I have 275x65x20 BFG KO2.
If I was buying tires again. I would go with 285. The 275 just look to skinny to me.

I couldn't find the copper ST Maxx anywhere in the States in that size. I was worried about width because I have Laramie flares.

As usual, everything I want has issues. Originally wanted 285 ST Maxx. None availabe in lower 48. Got pricing for the ST Maxx even thought I felt it was high I told my guy to order them 14 days at earliest. SOOO Toyo At2's and Bils at 2.1 on Tuesday.
