You can put larger tires on it. 265 instead on 245, same as the 2007 3500 came with.
Lots of people use air bags to level the truck, if needed.
I have a 2007 GMC Sierra Classic 2500HD and I did put on the same size tires as a 3500HD.
It will be gone soon.:(
Works well when you use the proper wider rims like the 3500 came with. Putting 265 on the stock 6.5 wide rims is not wise, as the sidewall really roll in. On my 2001 RAM it came with optional LT265/75R16's on 8" wide rims.

265s fit fine on the PYO wheels with no center tread wear from being too wide. Any bigger than 265s and the rims become too narrow.
I good cheap upgrade for the 16" rims are Dodge 3rd gen alloy 17" rims. They're 8-8.5" wide (I forget) and direct bolt up even the Chebby hubcaps. And they look 100x better, IMO. Can buy a set for a coup,e hundred bucks tops.
17" suck, no tire the meets the 3415 rating of the 265 16" offering. 17's are becoming an unwanted step child.
And do silly things with 265's on 6.5 rims if you want, however I would never do that. Chris
