Was a little worried about the height.
I like the lower profile look, but this looks fine.
thanks for the pic.

somehow always end up with 37s on my trucks in the end because I can’t help myself, though. But the 295s make a great tire that fit the truck better without looking oversized. It’s a good tire IMO

Don't want to have to step up much further than I do now, but i like the leveled look.

The 295 typically is 35.1” tall x 11.8” wide. The 35x12.50 is 34.5 x 12.50. The 285/65/20 bfg is 34.6 x 11.25” and 62 lbs.
If you have 6.7 & 5200 springs I would just run a 1 or 1.5” inch under spring spacer and Fox2.0 or Rancho rs7mt shocks if it isn’t a dedicated tow vehicle (I occasionally tow a 14,500 conventional and 17,000 GN with them),or Bilstein 4600 or 5100 if it is. At around 5,000-10,000 miles on the truck (make sure its not a lemon), I would also install a Fox IFP steering stabilizer and 1 degree drivers side caster bushing and 1.25 degree PS bushing.
You should also consider running the 295/60/20 Cooper AT3, its a little oversized for a 60, a hair over stock height and as wide as you can go on stock wheels and only weighs 59 lbs. Would look fine on a 1 inch lift.
I probably wouldn’t go over 1” or 1.5” on your truck from what I am reading. You also need to look into rear blocks when going over that height.
You can also run 5200 tremor springs and get 3/4-1” as well so you don’t have to mess with spacers. If it was my truck I would do that and the 295/60/20 cooper at3 since you are worried about height and mpg. Should change the look just enough.

Thanks for all the info Joe T, that sounds right on the money.
Ive got the 7.3 gas.
I’ll likely just lift the front as i don't really want the big lifted look.
I like the low profile level look.
Does anyone have any pics of the 295/60/20 Coopers?
i hadn't considered coopers before, Ive always been a BFG guy because the road noise/traction and looks all seem to balance out. I really dont like road noise but have to have some type of more aggressive tire since i drive LOTS of gravel road and also mud.
