What is the biggest tire I can fit. I'm planning on using BFG All Terrains if the tread makes a difference.

Keep in mind, the truck will not be wheeled until I get a 2-3" lift on it. It's an 03 Limited. Down the road, I want to do a set of 1st year springs (02 I think are the taller ones?) and a RR lift and want to have slightly larger tires on it so I don't NEED to swap tires with every lift stage.

First off, I guess you didn't bother searching for any of this information Eh?
'Cause it's been covered hundreds of times already!

The biggest tire you can fit on a stock '03 is a 245-70-16 inch.
With a 2.5" lift you can fit 245-75-16" tires.
265-75-16's will fit with 4+ inches of lift.

Now as far as choice of tires.
BFG Mall Terrain are not the most spectacular tires available for their price.
Better tires available for the money.

As far as lifts kits goes...
Again, you didn't read the Lift kit FAQ or you'd know this already!

Once Upon a time the front coil springs were longer.
Not anymore. Even if you went to a dealership and asked for OEM 2002 front coil springs you'll get the shorter coil springs that were used from 2003 on.

Rocky Ripp Off lifts are crap.
Just as their customer service!
Old Man Emu front and rear with a bit of tweaks will give you 2.5+ inches of lift.
Or if you want a pre assembled front shock/spring with added lift look at All J Products Frankenlift.
