On the contrary, I've been researching wheels and tires a lot the past two days. But several folks have stated that my truck isn't safe for this job, and that I should be looking at DRW. Trading in the truck will cost more than wheels and tires so I am absolutely interested in spending $4k-$5k.
One question you have to ask yourself is - are you willing to sacrifice the ride quality going to 19.5 commercial tires that run between 90 to 110 psi?
Since you bought a Denali, I figured you value luxury and aesthetics. Going to 19.5s may destroy the former, and 18s the latter.
But if that doesn't bother you, then wheel / tire swap is definitely an option. If you go with 19.5s, get a G load rated 225/70r19.5, this allows your gearing to remain similar to factory, and have 4000 lbs / tire. But, you HAVE to maintain 110 psi under full load.
