As others have mentioned, it'd be good to know what you use the truck for. If your wife drives it to get groceries and to work, putting 18's and LT tires isn't a great option.
17's will be the best "truck" tire, generally speaking. More compliance to road handling and better offroad due to more sidewall flex available.
18's will make the truck feel more responsive onroad... but bumps that the 17's would remove will rattle the occupants around a bit. Depends on a lot of variables of course, like suspension / sway bars, tire type, etc. Generally speaking, the 18's will make you feel closer to the road, for all that's good and bad about that.
