Help with tire size

[Jakeandnicky]

So I have a 95 dodge 3500 manual 2wd service truck with a 10’ box and standard cab. So I was wanting to put 19.5 tires on it and was hoping that you guys could help me with what size will work the easiest. Can’t decide between 265/70r29.5 or 285/70r19.5 or maybe 245’s but that’s getting a little smaller than I was wanting I think. The rear came stock with 4” blocks and it’s only $100 bucks for a 2 or 3” leveling kit for the front. Any suggestions would help! Thanks!

I would not degrade your truck by using a spring spacer.It will reduce tire clearance at the rear of the fender unless you install longer control arms if you have the coil and link style front end.If you have the lighter duty independent style it will tax bushings.

So what do you suggest then? Taller coils?

Taller coils of the correct rating,good quality shocks and longer control arms to keep the tire centered in the fender
