    Truck will have a Kings lift and already has the CMC done along with 17" Method Roost wheels.

    I can't decide which size to get... so please help me decide. Tire will probably be a Nitto Open country or maybe a mud terrain, but not sure.

    Help guys!

    Nope. That's a serious concern which is why I'm unsure which tire to go with.

    The 285/75 17 is the perfect size tire for the 3rd gen in my opinion... But I wouldn't do it without a re-gear. It really kills the fuel economy otherwise. Power was still okay post gear change but I couldn't pass a gas station without a fill up
