I have a 1998 Chevy K1500 4x4 and I just installed a 3" body lift. I currently have 265/75R16's on it and I was wondering what is the biggest size I could go with is.

285/75R16s would be a safe fit.  315/75R16 tires are 34.6" in diameter (+-) and would probably fit.  See if a friendly shop will let you mount one tire to check fit before buying a set.

I've had 315's on my stock 98 burb ust for kicks, with a 3" body lift you'll probably just need to trim the lower corners of the front bumper. I wore out a couple sets of toyo m/t 285's on it already..  
Just going Putt Putt 03 Rubi HD 2.5" competition rancho lift, Nth degree HD adjustable front track bar, Nth oil pan skid, Nth front and rear sliders, Nth stinger, rubicon express front upper control arms, 4:88's and 34x12.5-16 TrXus M/T's.
