    Too few to list.
    Welcome to the site! Truck is fine as it is but new set of wheels and tires changes the look. Go with a bigger 265/70R17 tires if you're sticking with 17" wheels or 265/75R16 if you want to do 16" wheels. No lift needed. If you want the bigger tire look without a lift, look into 255/85R16 or 255/80R17.
