W/ 10.5" of lift you can do some damage I'm running 9" of lift and 36x14.50 TSL Radials. You could nicely fit a set of 38.5s. Just be careful, our running gear isn't meant for big meats...

Yeah, I would put 37's or 38's on it. If you want flex room, go for the 37s or maybe 36s.

Any of those is really too big for the axles and brakes in that truck though. If you want to go big you should atleast start out with a 2500 with stronger axles front and rear and bigger brakes too.
