I'm running 275/50/17 on the front (~28", nearly same diameter as stock).
Then 275/60/17 on the rear (~30"). It worked out okay on my club cab, I
noticed the tilt forward, but I just reclined the seat another notch. I
lost some gas mileage and performance due the bigger heavier tires, but they
did look pretty good. Moving the wheel/tires to the standard cab has go me
thinking if the truck was level, maybe I'd be reclined a bit more in the
seats (I'm up against the cab wall) and it would be more comfortable. plus
I'll probably get better mileage.

Sorry, no pictures.
