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.
