Well this past weekend I tried to drive in the ice storm that hit Atlanta and I smashed in to a curb blowing out 2 tires. The good new is my stock Pirelli's had 40k miles on them and were pretty much wore out. The bad news is I need tires ASAP. Do you guys think 35x12.50x20 BFG TAKO 2's would fit on the stock FX4 20's and 2.25" of lift in front? I am pretty sure I have seen others run this size on level only. I need to order them today.
My truck has slight rubbing at 3 1/2 front and 1" back with 33" tires. So I would assume yes.
I'm prepping for a snow storm and don't have time to put my 3" lift on, will a 2013 2WD truck be able to run 33.9" tires with minimal rubbing for a week or so? I can't run my stocks through deep snow...

It will rub bro. My front tires rub drastically when I'm backing up with hard turns. That's with a 3 1/2 inch lift all around.
2016 xlt 4wd
2" hell bent leveling kit $76
17×8.5" 0 offset procomp rockwell $120ea
LT285/70/17 $192ea
The front is still slightly lower, but I'm happy with it.
No rubbing at all, I was nervous about the zero offset, but nowe I think it's perfect. Would like to lift it a bit more, but that isn't going to happen... This makes it look like it sticks out further than it does Lt vs p . Lt on the right
Went to Discount Tire yesterday and they offered to mount a 315/70/17 on the left front on the stock 17x7.5 and it fit with no rubbing. However it was extremely close to the plastic on the backside of the bumper when turning but didn't rub on ball joint or UCA. Going over bumps is going to be a different story though I'm sure...
Well after a lot of research - I finally did it. Here's my 2011 F150 XLT 4x4 Supercab 5.0, installed a 2" Rough Country Leveling Kit at home (took about 5.5 hours, wasn't that difficult just took time and btw the instructions are total sh*t, youtube video is way better). Decided to go from my 265/70/17 BFG Long Trails to the BFG KO2's in a 315/70/17 (34.4x12.4)" (.1 inches shorter than a KO2 true 35x12.5 - which is exactly 34.5") on my stock 17x7.5" XLT wheel. No rubbing at all that I have found/heard so far but its super close when turning. I may have found a little evidence of ball joint/UCA rubbing though. :/ Just taking it easy over the bumps. Went to Discount Tire to purchase them, the guys were shaking their heads as they pulled my truck in saying they weren't going to fit ,they even placed bets! But to their amazement it didon't rub. (They were great though, very professional and helpful) So here's from start to finish Before level after level with stock tires then with big tires..
(Paid $99 for level)
(Paid $1200 for tires)
Last two are almost to full lock but not quite
