Dreaded tire sizes

The 265 75 will fit a stock rim, but I don't think it gives you much height over stock

BFG makes several 255/85/16s . mine were mud terrains but they were not the only option. they are aprox 33" and fit your stock 6"rim or the van 16x7"

no lift required I think you even have 8ply or 10ply options now.

i am due for new tires on the 94, still using the stock wheels and 235/85/16's and am curious if there is a slightly taller tire size I can use that will not require a lift and will not rub. I thought I could figure this it but I am having analysis paralysis. Current stock size is 31.7" and I am not sure how tall I can safely go. I am probably going with BFG T/A KO2's.

Does anyone have any insight or suggestions or what has worked/not worked?

Sounds like you want to remain completely stock, but if you move your bumper forward just an inch, it will get you some "almost free" clearance for larger rubber. On my 92, my first set of oversized tires (which I believe were 285 75 16s but I couldn't swear to it as it was a while ago) only rubber in reverse. And bear in mind that was a TTB Dana 50 axle, I think your truck should have a D60 and I am guessing it won't squat as much in reverse as the TTB. My truck ended up with a 2" body lift and 315s, but I would investigate moving your bumper forward if you really want to open up your options.

Good luck no matter which way you go.

I am running 285 75s currently on aftermarket rims. Stock suspension but the bumper is spaced out about an inch. It was done by the PO so it may not be necessary.
They fit fine, but I would be wary of putting them on stock rims.
