I have a 14' Express "Black edition" 4X4.

I'm looking at putting the 2.5" Rancho leveling spacers in anticipation of purchasing new tires. I really like the 20" 5 spoke black wheels that came with the truck. I'm looking for a good set of AT tires that will fit the stock wheel.

I live in Southern California and I do the occasional off road camping trip. I'm looking for a good tire/leveling kit setup to get me that extra mile over the factory setup without creating any issues during a warranty claim.

Just remember the black express wheels are 8 inches wide so nothing over 285 295 width. You'll be able to fit a 35 under there, just make it less than 12.5 inch width.

Ooops. Another important piece of information is that I often park in a parking garage at work that requires my truck to be no higher than 6'10". At the factory height right now, I always feel like I'm going to smack my head on a concrete overhang. Anyone know the factory height?

I got 285/70/17 with a -6 offset on my 13 express 4x4 with 2" hellbent level kit. Have plenty of room so I think the stock wheels would be fine with this size tire.

I put stock size toyo at2s on my stock 20s, with a 2 inch level. I wish I would have gone a bit bigger, but don't plan on much offroading, just wanted a better winter tire than the SR-A. Also watch the weight of aftermarket tires as they will affect suspension parts, gas mileage, and performance. I was set on the KM2, but they're mega heavy. These are only a few lbs heavier than the SRA.

I was thinking Toyo AT2s also. Stock size is a 275/60/20, and tire rack has a 275/65/20. Do you have a pic of what the truck looks like with them on? How do you like them?

Here are the AT2. I love them and they have been great so far.

I looked at a few different sets, and the warranty and positive reviews is what made me go with them.

Side photo doesn't really do the tires any justice, but in person you can see the side tread better.
