One time I tried to pull into a UHaul place but went into the wrong lot and there's no connecting driveway. So... I just went over the curb and grass lol

If #1 is not your cup of tea then...

2.) Give up fast food. It's bad for you lol

I'm 2" leveled with 1.5" spacers. Haven't had any issues so far with driving it. Been off roading thru tight trails and still fit.
I think #2 sounds like a plan lol. Though I can't give up coffee and half the drive thrus I go to are Starbucks.

I'm getting a little better after driving the truck for a month. Just trying to remember the ones that aren't truck friendly. As said earlier, most of the newer drive thrus are fine. It's the old ones that don't seem to have enough room.

Navigating the turns in a drive through is usually more of a wheelbase issue than a tire width issue, however you may have been on the verge of squeaking by and now you can't.

I hear ya. Already a 145" wheel base. Adding 35's with less backspacing than stock is not going to help the turning radius.

My 2003 Supercrew with 38X15.50R20 on 20X10s had no issue at all going through drive thrus.
