245/75/15- don't even try the 265's WAY to wide and tall. Even with the 245's some minor trimming will be needed. If you want some more lift try coil spacers.

Okay, that's what I was thinking. I'm really against trimming anything so maybe I should just go with 235's it'll still be taller either way than the stock height and the 215's I'm running now. Thanks for the info. Oh yeah and where can I find coil spacers?

ME!! I sell them on ebay or directly. Look on ebay under seller: hoepkers. That way you can see a picture of them. Most guys use the 1.5" and 2" combo. 2-1.5" for the front and 2-2" for the rear. This combo levels the truck out great and is about the max you should go w/o diff drops. The cost is for the combo is $80 to US and $85 to Canada. That price includes shipping via USPS. Let me know if you are interested. You can pay via paypal or money order.

Just my two cents... I had a 1997 4 door sport with the 2" coil spacers and ran Firestone Wilderness at's (265/70r16) in stock steel wheels with no rubbing except on the frame rail.  It was behind the tire.  I thought that was acceptable.  FYI ;D
