I don't show a Nitto in a 285/70R18. Is your truck an F250 or an F350 and are your wheels stock 17 or 18? I'd be happy to check out fitment guide for you.

Your current size tire stands 33.27"s tall, 10.94"s wide, and is a perfect size for the stock 18x8" wheel. Anything any bigger would require a wider wheel for proper fitment.
How do like the Terra Grapplers in the sand?

the tires are great and would have worked better had I lowered the air pressure prior to going on the beach, I was doing great until I stopped then when I took off it buried it self in the sand. My old 2500 chev Ihad put 305/70/16 they did real good

Yes they do, but the largest tire(LT285/65R18) that would work with powerdivers stock wheels would be almost an inch shorter in height than the Terra Grapplers he is now running.

It would be an excellent choice to go with if he wanted to give up a little overall height.
