hey guys i have a 2000 ram 1500 4wd with 2.5" skyjacker coils factory 3" blocks and factory wheels: only problem now is i cant figure out what size tires will look better. Also i dont really get a chance to offroad much but i do every now and then but i like the offroad look and its my dairy driver, let me know what you guys think thanks also any pics would be awesome and i will post some pics when i get some new tires..

If you have 7 inch factory rims I would stay with 285s. A 305 is a bit too wide for that width rim.
The difference width wise is about an inch depending on the tire style (At or Mt).
What tires are you considering?

D's might wear a bit quicker with a heavy truck like a Ram, especially if you're hauling heavy loads or towing. They simply don't have the load capacity of an E range tire. Otherwise they'll be fine
