Tires

What are the biggest tires that I can fit on a stock suspension system on an 04 2500 without running into issues. I am going to have leveling kit put on it, just not gonna be for a little bit on that though and Im needing tires now.

I agree with the 285. But, the bigger the tire the more fuel mileage you loose!

i have a writeup on that in the Tires&wheels section..
285's fit with T/bars cranked and worse case is you'll have to do some minor trimming which i would doubt but other then that stay with a 265-75R16 if you dont want to trim.

I agree with the tire guy. I had 285s with cranked Tbars and no trimming on stock wheels. Went to aftermarket wheels and had to trim.
