Re: 13.50's or 15.50's?
It's my understanding that 15.5's can put more stress on brakes, suspension, and transmission as there is more tire surface touching the ground, equating to more resistance. I have 38X13.5X20's on mine, and they have been great. Also, keep in mind that no matter what tire width you run, the real key to prevent rubbing is the correct offset of the wheels.
When I spoke with a VERY respectable shop here in Orlando, they made it very clear that 40" tall tires were too big for Chevy based trucks without substantial upgrades, and 15" wide tires would put a lot of stress on certain components.

Re: 13.50's or 15.50's?
I also heard that and thought about asking but didn't know for sure..So say I went with the 15.50's, I would need to upgrade several steering parts as well?

Re: 13.50's or 15.50's?
You should upgrade those parts even if your truck is basically stock. Stock tie rods are known for going bad, and there are some excellent alternatives. And some of the steering braces are highly recommended, as well. Not only will they last longer, but they'll help hold alignments. Considering some of these parts are cheaper than an alignment, it's a no-brainer.
