35/12.50/20 won't fit with out some Type of lift/level also if you keep the stock 20's you will need a .25 space at minimum (that's what I have ) to keep the tires of the UCA

Ya , leveling kits are fairly cheap an can be done your self with basic hand tools in your garage , The spacers are from rough country there only 30 bucks for 2 an you only need 2 for the front attached a photo so you can see what the spacer looks like on there

I paid about 220 for my 2.5" level /3" rear block from auto spring an about $150 I be leave for my 1" body lift from f-150 lifts an 30$ for the spacers So I was at about 400 for parts with out my tires an installed everything my self so I saved a lot of money not having to pay to get it done ( Also you don't need the 1" BL to clear the 35's I just wanted a little more lift )

A 33" will fit at stock height...a 34" would be close and maybe some trimming. 35's will require a 2 inch level or more. If you limit the width to 12 inches on the tire you would probably not need spacers. A 295x60x20 should clear. I ran 305x55x20 Nitto Terragrapplers on my '11 Lariat at stock height and they cleared but were real close on the inside to the upper control arm. Tires were 33.2x12.6x20. The only thing bad on the stock 20's is the +44 offset or close to 6.5 inches of backspace. Pulls the tires way inside the wheelwells but saves the sides of your truck!! I'd look at a 295x60x20 Nitto Trailgrappler using the stock wheels and a 2 inch level...just my 2 cents!!

About as wide of a tire you can go without spacers...305x55x20 but an all terrain tire with smaller sidelugs compared to a MT tire.

did you do a write up on the body lift? I am curious how intense the install is.

With the 1" BL it's pretty straight forward an there's no extensions need steering brakes ect. for anything I did not do a right up but if you have any questions just pm me
