I would go with the BFG's, my 285s have never let me down.

I had the nitto terra grapplers in 285 and liked them. I jsut recently put on the Toyo Open Country AT and like them better since I really do spend more time on the road - they're less aggressive looking and seem to ride a little nicer

If your not planing on lifting or leveling it i would just get the same size you got now, or maybe step up to some 285/65R18s to fill out the wheel Wales.

I thought the terra grapplers and the toyo at's were the same tread design...

I have the 2 inch leveling kit in my 05 SC 4x4 and run the Maxxis Bighorn 275/70. It's a great M/T, with minimal noise. I have about 30k miles on them and they still have a lot of tread left.

I just purchased some Firestone M/T's. They got good reviews and were a reasonable price.

i agree if you want a little bigger go with 285/65/18. like said above they will give it a better stance and fill out the wheel wells better.

What's the largest size that will fit on the stock rims with no leveling kit?

Wandell is prolly the expert on this subject, but I would say you would not want to go any bigger than a 285/65 which is a 33x11.50 with no leveling or lift. I have run 325/65-18 Nitto Terra Grapplers on my 05' with a 2" AS on front and 1/4" spacers on the wheels, but I just dropped back to the 285/65 Toyo Open Country A/T's and have a much better ride! I think the 285's are going to fill the wells up pretty good without a leveling kit or lift, especially the front. Let us know what you go with!

Right, or maybe a 305/60-18 (33x12.50).
