I love my DuraTracs; I've had them offroad with no issues, and I feel like they grabbed better than my last set of BFG AllTerrains while feeling just as confident, if not better, on the highway. They are available is 285-70R17 (see pic in sig for reference with a 2-inch front leveling kit) and 275-65R18, both of which will tuck just fine with a leveling kit on your truck. They are also available in 295-65R18 and 305-55R20, but they are a little bit taller and I am not sure about how well those would clear on your ride with a leveling kit. I have never rubbed with mine even offroad, FWIW.

What is a good tire and wheel combo to go with if I decide to sell these wheels and tires? Im not lifting the truck, just leveling kit. So what I am asking is what is my limits with sizes?

20x9's or 20x10's on 285/55/20's? Thanks!

Things get a bit tricky once you start throwing aftermarket wheels on there. Anything under 33 will fit fine on factory wheels, but aftermarket wheels tend to be wider and have different offsets so they also tend to rub during tight turns and a bit offroad, in my experience.

Those were the two tires I was considering for when the factory ones are toast. They are close in price and it seems you are sold on the duratracs now and I was kind of leaning that way myself to begin with. You may have convinced me to go that same route. How much was your front levelling kit? I will probably get that done at the same time but am unsure if I want to increase my tire height because of how it will affect my gearing.

ETA: How the hell is your black truck so clean in the middle of all of that dust?
