Default tire size and lift info

Hey all,

I have a 2001 Silverado 1500 Z71 off-road 4wd. Currently completely stock. What are the biggest tires I can go with without and rubbing or body mods needed?

Also, within the next year or so I am looking to get a lift. I am either thinking the basic 2 or 3" leveling kit, or a 4" full suspension lift. I have seen some at rough Country that look pretty good. What are your reccomendations on brands. I do not do any off roading, and do use the truck to tow snowmobiles in the winter. If I go with a lift, what size tires can i run at that time?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Go with the 4" and put some 35" Pro Comp extreme all terrains. www.4wheelparts.com agressive tread pattern, but still good on the street, and I believe they offer a tread life warranty.

I am rather shocked. All the people on here and only 1 response with their suggestion?!?!?! Man what a dying board., I posted on Jeep forums for my wifes lift and had 25 responses in about 30 minutes. Oh well. Thanks for the info I was given Fireman!
