Do you guys have any suggestions an a set of all terrain tires. I'm planning on keeping the 16" wheels that came with it. Also I'm adding a 3" body lift shortly.(before I add the tires)

Any help appreciated,

Pro Comp AT's are great. So are BFG AT's. Those would be my first 2 choices.

How the Heck can I tell what size my factory rims are with out taking one off. They have the 31" Good Years from the factory still. Getting Performance Acessories 3" with income tax return, also tire to boot. But if they are not 15x8 I will be buying AE589's then. Thanks. Also joining with income tax money, and will post pics.

In 16's 285x75x 16's or 305x70x16's.
In 15's 32x11.50's or 33x12.50's.

Travis yours are most likely 15x8's. Dont think they put the 15x7's on the SLT's in '00.

If I put on the 3" body lift will I have to do any trimming to get the 305x70x16 BFGs on.

If its a 2001 then its a 16x8, unless the tire size says 15" then it would have to be the 5 spoke 15x7. In 2001 dodge offered the 15x7, 16x8, and 17x8 (R/T)

Just look at your sticker that was on the window when you got your truck it should say on there, if you still have it. Or just look at the rims if they look like mine kinda a deep dish style(Click on my profile) they are the 15X8 if not they would be the 15X7.

I'd bet you've got 15X8s stock, but the AE 589s you mentioned have less backspacing and will give your truck a wider stance. Just something that shouldn't be overlooked when lifting. Good luck!

Is anyone running Goodyear Wrangler MT/R tires. They see to have a better overall rating in the survey at tirerack.com

i think that the 265/75 16 will fit without a lift. I
have 265/70 16 on my 2001 4x4 dak. So the
75's should fit. I am trying to see if super
swamper 32/11.50x16 will fit without a lift so if
anyone knows let me know?

thx.
