    What size tires are you wanting to get? You may want to consider regearing to 4.10 or lower if you want to run 33s or larger

    Awesome I was leaning that way anyway lol. I was thinking about a 4" lift but wasn't sure about tires. Knowing very little about wheels and tires I wanted something wider than stock. What do you think?

    You would for sure either need a DB lift or you would need to cut your fenders and do CMC. That is a 34" tire.

    As far as regearing goes, the truck would drive without it, but it would be sluggish and the mpg would be bad.

    Personally, I would regear with anything bigger than 32s (265/75/17 and 265/70/17)

    Welcome. I ran 33's with stock gears and didn't think it was that bad. A little noticeable but tolerable. Once up to 35's regear was a no brainer.
