The tire brand and model are only somewhat related to the lift, but you will need to figure out your lift height and a target tire size to accompany that, as well as how much height you can add and still fit where you park. Also take note on if there is a slope where you get into the parking structure so you can leave extra clearance and not risk your roof.

If you install a 2" lift it should be easy to run a 275/65r20 tire which is 34.1" diameter so your total height would be 2.5" taller, or you can probably do a 285/60r20 which is 33.5" diameter, maybe even 285/65r17 which is 34.6" . If your parking situation gives you room for an extra 3 inches height with room to spare you're in good shape.

But not every tire is available in every size, for example the general HTS60 is available in 275/65r20 but not 285. The Nitto tires are available in a lot of sizes. You might also find some sizes are more expensive than others if cost is a factor, like 35x12.50r20 is a pretty common size so you'll find more budget choices in that size than for example 295/60r20 even though that is a little smaller and "should" cost less just on raw materials.

Hope that helps. Kind of fun part of all this is we all have different weather and terrain and lifestyles so we have to take that into consideration when sharing experiences
Brother, you have give me all that I need to figure out my lift choices, both given my parking "situation" and money-wise as well, in the coming days I will take the time and know exactly what are my clearances in the parking garage at work, which is my daily, somewhere else I do not care too much, since when not working I park in open spaces. THANKS A LOT to everyone who has given me their opinions and options to look at, I really appreciate it. I have own the truck for a year now, but it is in this moment when I am kind of ready to start doing some upgrades as far as lifts, spacers, tires and also wheels since I would like to upgrade those too. Again, thanks to all this far.

Look at Yokohama Geolander ATs. Great wet/snow/braking traction, plus they're QUIET !. Love mine.
$30 per tire cheaper than Firestone Destination ATs, when same ratings.

OK, ok, fair enough. Can't wait to see the red wheels on the red truck... I'm a function-over-form dude to the core but if something looks great without hurting the function that's awesome.

Finally joined the Falken Club! I got the 265/60/20 115T for $200 each plus $28/tire for lifetime replacement if needed. Really love them so far! Next week I join the Bilstein 4600 club for my 2WD!IMG_2593.jpg IMG_2594.jpg

Just got back from Discount tire and had my Falkens installed. Pics on the forum don't do these tires justice. They really look so nice in person. Night and day from the pics.

Wow, that was a nice review, I found them but they are 65 instead of 60, that should not be a problem, since the difference in height shouldn't be an issue..
I'm looking at these also, can anyone comment on the 34" tire size as far as potential rubbing with a stock suspension.

34 on a stock 2500 or a power wagon? The stock power wagon is taller than a regular 2500. But I think 34" will be just fine
