A quick math run shows about a 295/75/16 or around a 33. 5" tire would put you in the 3. 7x range.

Hi:
Same setup- I put on the 19" ricksons. Around a 33" tire. You will also need to get an abbot box to adjust the speedo. Otherwise your mileage(per the odometer) would go down. For me it put the RPM right under 2,000 at 70 MPH.

Go with the D range 255/85R16's ... I run the Dunlops (33. 6" Diameter) and improved my mileage by over 2MPG... best tank right under 19mpg... using cruise and all highway (Florence, SC to Abbeville, Alabama w/1200lbs load). Rairly downshift from OD to 3-4th Clutch... Also filled my wheelwells up in the process WITHOUT having to replace the stock 16x6. 5 rim or adding a lift kit... each tire is rated right at 3000lbs a piece... looks like my set will last a little over 40k... cheaper than Rickson (I paid $130 per tire plus mount/balance/lifetime rotation)... much better than the Goodyears that came with the truck (29K... #ad
) Good Luck!
