01 2500 245/75R16 Last Tire Question..Confused..Help!

Almost there I think. Thanks a million to all that responded last week and the sites for the wheels,tires were super! I bookmarked those for sure.
I am still a slight bit confused. I have been told that the 275/75R16s are about the biggest tires to add with the stock setup, and only if I can find the correct load range etc. Same for the wheels that I plan on adding aftermarket. I am having trouble finding the wheel specs that I need, but wil try National or similar first thing on Monday for their help. No one has much of any 01 parts or specs advertised...yet. If I can go up to the 275s/16s, should I have the dealer reprogram the new tire size in? I saw this down the post page about another tire issue. Are there any other changes that I need to be aware of? I saw the specs from one of your site links that reduces the rear ratio from my 410 to a 393 or 383 when I go up in tire size. I wonder if this is all worth the effort as these machines are setup to maximize their towing capability...right? Or is it not this critical. I remember when we could add tires at whim and not have to consider anything but the rub!
I am a new Suburban owner and new board member and appreciate all the help you all have given me so far.
Thanks again!
