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.

I just got a quote on stronger tires (not all E load tires are created equal...) 265/75/R16 AND 285/75/R16; they are both supposed to fit on my rims. The 285 (Toyo - 3,750lb) need a leveling kit.
Do you think that they missinformed me about my rims? This is a place that upgrades trucks (for work trucks ond toys...) I have 245/75/R16 from factory (only option Chevy put on there) Sabine
I ran 265's on my 2005 2500HD stock rims. Yes they will fit fine and look good but if towing heavy, you're not going to like it.
I always fought handling issues with our current trailer. It just never towed the way I wanted. I tried everything except going back to 245's, and looking back I think that was the key.
As said, the 3500's came with an identical wheel but it was wider.
