Yeah, I would go with 285s, but I have a feeling that i'd look at them once on and think I coulda squeezed bigger ones on. I had 285s on my 01 when I got it, and they fit with 2" blocks and cranked keys, so i'm thinking on this 2500 315s should fit as long as I don't get too wide of rims for the front
Get bigger. I kick myself evertime i look at my truck for not getting at least 305/70/16s.

But 305 and 285 are the same size essentially lol.

35's would fit, I don't see a single reason why they wouldn't, I don't care what Mr. I have a 4" lift and barely clear 33's on my 2500 guy say's.

I know but they just look skinny imo. At least 305/70 is 12 wide not 10 or whatever. Im happy with the way it fills the wheel wells, im not a fan of stuffing the wheel wells.

How do those lift keys ride? Because I cranked my stock ones up to the max, and it was terrible. I had to drop them back down an inch, just so I didn't hate driving it. My yukon was maxed out, and drove fine. But my 2500 was horrible at max Crank.

Its definitely stiff, but it doesn't bother me. I also did an alignment, it significantly improved my steering wander and feels tighter, so maybe if I didn't do that, it would have been noticeably worse.
