Tires look great! Did you see any difference in the rake with the new tires?I have 275/65/20 Nitto Recon Grapplers on my 22’ platinum. Any bigger and they would probably rub. These tires are p metric sized just like OEM tires. Basically, the biggest you can get without going to a D or E rated tire. Keep in mind, unsprung weight is the worst kind of weight and going to D And E rated tires will add about 20lbs per tire. This also robs performance and kills mpg. In addition, the ride quality takes a hit too. I learned the hard way.
On my last truck (2017 Platinum) I went up 1 size from factory with Nitto Ridge Grapplers and they had no noticeable affect on ride, performance and MPG. These new Recon Grapplers seem to be a bit quieter on the road. Don’t get me wrong, the ridge grapplers where very quiet considering how they looked, but thought I would try Nitto’s newest tire in the lineup. After 400 miles, I’m very happy.

Was thinking of 285s, not 275s...my bad
My point is if you took the tires completely off and had just wheels, the rake...the difference between the front and rear height...wouldn't change. Wider, skinnier, taller, shorter, more aggressive tread, racing slicks...if all 4 tires still match then rake is unaffected.
My thought is go with 275/65s and maybe do a 2" level later.
Gravity may be be slightly different at the roofs elevation, so this may not be an apples to apples comparison
