I have decided to go with fuel contra wheels 20mm backspacing and either 285-60-20 fallen wild peaks or295-60-20. I need help deciding which size to go with? I also have a bilstein 5100 kit that I will be setting the front shocks to the middle level which is 1.25" (i think) and 1" blocks in the rear. My measurements right now a 37" in front wheel well and 37.5" rear wheel well. I had one shop tell me that while I am installing the leveling kit I might as well put in new front springs and leaf springs in back and lower ball joints as they are probably wore. Any truth to this after 200,000 miles? Any body running 295's or 285's with pictures?

Here's a great resource for tire sizes:

Mine's a city truck, which pulls utility and ATV trailers, so I use all-season or summer performance tires.

I went with 285/50-20, so my speedometer only changed 1 MPH at 70. I was ready to pull the trigger on 295/45-20 General UHP, but it was the *only* tire, in that size and Kelly was going to discontinue making them... Do like the MPG bump the Michelins give me, but with the truck now tuned, I need all the traction I can get
