    Welcome to the site.

    I'll assume is a 4WD.

    To fit those tires under the truck you'll need at least 2-2.5" levelling kit. You "can get away" pumping up your torsion bars. But you"ll end with a crappy ride. Even with the levelling kit (torsion keys) you'll end up with a crappy ride. Try to purchase a good levelling kit that comes with Shocks extensions or buy better shocks for the front.

    Now IMHO, your Tahoe been stock, I'll recommend 305/50/20. Those are almost 1.2" lower than the ones you want. A good Alignment Job and a turn to the torsion bar bolt will be enough.
    Also the kind of tire you selected for the stock suv is really aggressive. I recommend some Cooper Zeon LTX. Those will give the mean off-road look and capabilities, with great on road manners.

    Thing is, the tires you select are great for off-road, and where those tires can GO, your stock Suv suspension may NOT

    Just my opinion, hope it helps.

    I have 33 12.50s on my 97 2 door tahoe. The suspension is still stock and the only problem that I have is that I can't turn the wheels all the way to the left or right.

    That will be the exact reason for leveling it. once you are off road the tire will not only full lock turn but the deflection of the suspension will carve a new design in your fenders.
