The 295 70/16 will fit without any issues and not change the power curve that you're use to with the truck.

305/70 will fit on a stock 7" limited rim?

The BF Goodrich website says the rim size range for 305 tires is 8" - 9.5".

The range for the 295 is 7.5" to 9"

They also don't list a 295/70/16.

^^^ This, data from the tire manufacturer and knowing what rim width you have, and of course, rubbing considerations. If you don't know your rim width, you might be able to find it by running your VIN here. Click on the tab titled vehicle if it doesn't take you there directly:

People have put them on a stock rim but it puts a lot of pressure on the sidewall of the tire and may pop the bead. Also you will have rubbing issues if the suspension is stock.
