I dont think you can go taller in the front without doing the back(it'll mess up your diff or something)

25-10-12's(front) and 25-12-12's(back) would be good.
I like the ITP's 589's m/s
but there's other good one's also.....titans...muddrunners

I'm assuming your are staying with your stock rims? If you are, the widest you could use would be a 9 in. wide tire. I have 26x9x12 on stock front rims and the tire is pretty close to rubbing the tie rod end on the right side(actually had to use a small spacer to keep from rubbing it). I think the 25x10x12's may be a bit too wide for the stock rims.

KodiakKid,
i have a set of Outlaws F+B and they rub like hell on the front- even with spacers.
my advice: if you plan on going wider up front, budget for new progressives or HD springs. you'll need them!
later,
MT
