As title says, I'm torn. 2021 Laramie with OEM 22" wheels. Bilstein 5100's on their way with ORP. Keeping stock UCA, but willing to add Bora wheel spacers. I like the thought extra width of 295's but not sure if I'm overthinking things. Is there much of a visual difference between the 2 sizes? I understand the 285 will work with no issues, so may be the safest route. Don't want any regrets.

I’m purchasing 285/55/22 Falken WildPeak A/T4W in a few months.

I'll be going 285/55 to save some weight, plus more options. I'm going with BDS 3" w/ Fox 2.5's

I'm on the Bils 5100 set at 2.1". I just swapped my Nitto Ridge Grapplers which were 33x12.5x22 for Hankook DynaPro AT2s in a size 305/45/22 which is an XL-rated, lighter tire. Size-wise, I can't tell any difference. Ride quality-wise, but better both smoother and quieter. I also was having a vibration issue with my Nittos that I couldn't figure out which was my main reason for getting rid of them. Just throwing this out there if it helps you at all.
