I have an 01' with 33's. The tires fit stock on a 4x4 with no rubbing. I did crank up my t-bars and lift the rear to make it look a little better but I had no issues at stock height. With the General Grabbers I am getting between 14 and 15 highway and 10-11 around town.

Sorry man but I find this hard to believe. I have an 02 screw 5.4 and 16 is better than I got with 30.5" tires. So much worse now with 35s. Our trucks are only rated at 14 and 17 from the factory so there's no way u are gettin 16 with 35s
