looking at gear ratios
I want to go to 305/7or16 tires I am currently running 285/75r16 with the stock gears, can I get anyway with running the 305 with the stock gears or will I have to change them out, if I have to change them out what kind of gears will I have to get installed thanks

You can certainly run that size with stock gears. Won't hurt anything. You may notice a drop in perceived power, as well as a drop in MPG. But you can run that way if you want.

Personally, I'd regear with 285/75s, but that is just me.
You can compare both tire sizes here: http://www.wickedbodies.net/Tire-Size-Calculator.htm.
Granted, which ever brand of tire you decide on, you may want to get the exact dimensions from the manufacturer of each. Reason being, every 305/70 for example, is not exactly the same size as another.

EDIT: Exactly how much would it hurt pwr & mpg, I can't say. You want know exact figures until you do the swap. Wish I could be of more help
