I was originally wanting to do a 3 inch body lift but wont be able to install my self now and cant afford to pay someone els to do it. so now my question is what size tires can i fit with stock suspension? my truck is a 2002 4x4 1500. not quite sure of the tire size on it now but the seem kinda small for a truck. i would really like to put 33x12.5 inch tires on the truck and am getting new rims and would like the tires to stick out a little.
so does anyone know of anything about this or of a already made thread about this stuff?

Thanks for any help you guys can give me!

They will fit. The stock 20 is a 33. I have 305/65/20 and the fit great. They are -inch wider than stock and stick out just a touch on stock offset wheels ( enough to trash a clean truck when it rains or you hit a puddle) I am pretty that the305/65 is a 12.5 tire. It will rub on full lock on a bump though. Also I have not cranked my tbars up. Before I got them I did crank them up though and test fit a 35 but I thought it took up to much wheel well.

I have Kuhmo 325/60/20 on mine with the stock suspension. They fit ok, but they rub in turning on the sway bar.

I would like to get them off because my mileage dropped badly when I put them on. It put the RPM of the motor in the range where at 75 on the interstate even a overpass makes it downshift, so it is constantly shifting back an forth.
