305 will work on stocks IMO. Plenty of guys running them and I've had them on mine for 2+ years.

Every shop I have spoken to believesa 295/60 is too big on a 15+ with a leveling kit. I believe one guy ran toyo open country mts in that size with the RC 3.5. Just need to pick between a 305 or a 285/ 60 I guess...

Just installed 305/45r22...32.8"
305/55r20 is 33.2" so .4" difference. I think it will fit. Worst case zip tie the liner back a tad...

Clearance on 2" RC level

So I saw a Tahoe identical to mine today running 275/65/20s. I can't imagine he doesn't scrub. That's about 34" inches tall and a little more narrow than stock but looked like he was running it with stock height. Still had rake in the front. Makes me feel like I could get away with a 295/60/20. Thoughts?

Which tire size would get the worst mileage? 285/60/20, 295/60/20, 305/55/20?

Stay tuned - I'll try to snap a couple pics

Finally got around to taking a few pics. Mine is on the left with stock suspension and a ppv valence and the one on the right has what appears to be stock suspension and 275/65/20...it looks meatier in person.
