Re: What size tire in your opinion

It depends on your use of the truck... I like big tires, little lift, and flex. So I say run 38"s and drop it down to 4"..

Re: What size tire in your opinion

I think either the 37 or 38. I voted for the 37 because I think they will fit without trimming because imo I do not like to trim.
