285/75R16 is about as big as you would want to go. You will be limited by the duals for width. If they rub together, your sidewall will fail very quickly.

go to 2.5" Dodge Ram Leveling Kit - 1994-2012 - Hell Bent Steel and you can fit 35 easy. with my 2500 4x4 i could fit 35" tight but not rub. i put on the leveling kit and 3" body lift and have 37" tires without any issues.
