I’m sure this has been asked before. I have a 17 Laramie 1500 with the stock 20” wheels. I have the rough country leveling struts, can I clear a 295/60r20 tire?

The new diameter will clear. The width should clear too as long as you have clearance between the tire and whatever upper control arm you're running. The 295 is about an inch wider than the 275.

I’m running the stock upper control arm. Think it will still clear? I’m currently running an Lt275/60R20

Looks that size tire is around a 34" OD and a Tread Width of 10" - 10.3" so I agree that you should be fine with the leveling kit but will come down to clearing the added width at full crank

Keep in mind, not all tires are created equal...some sidewalls are more aggressive than others and actual size may vary slightly.

Good luck...I think that size will look solid and fill out the wheel wells nicely.

I ran 305/55 on 20x9 0 offset aftermarket wheels. I had a very slight rub on the swaybar at full lock. Very very slight.
I only had a few mm’s clearance off the stock UCA though.
