i dunno how big a 305/70 is exactly but i thought it was preety close to a 35. If your suspension is working well i think that about all you will get with out cutting the guards and maybe getting some bigger offset wheels.

Got an 05 coil cab running 37's for touring, have a set of 40 x 16.5's round town, no body lift, but I do have 3" longer front fibreglass flares that look factory.

37 will fit with a 30mm front bump stop spacer, to stop rubbing in the top of the fender, and the rear depends on the tray, I run 3" lift and 14" stroke shocks, using all 14" in the rear, and 10" in the front, and on 3" backspace the rears just touch on the chassis rail next to the tray bracket.

We also trim the botom of the standard flare, and fit an alloy bracket inside the flare which keeps the factoryy mudflap, and looks factory, for standard flares.
