Default Who takes there stock truck with levling kit and 35's off road

Just as the title says. I have been looking through the site for quite some time now and been playing in the mud with my stock truck but as most are, I am looking for a bigger more aggressive tire but with the friends and family I do not want to go to far up. The lift kit is not out of the question but maybe down the road after I buy another driver. All I am looking for is some pictures of the trucks flexing with 35's and the leveling kit. I am leaning towards a 33 but you never know, with enough persuasion might go a little larger. Thank you in advance to everyone who posts.

I think I would go with 33's just to have a little more room for travel when you hit bumps.

I think these three trucks are very tastefully done. I love the look of all three of them. Simple, but look damn good.

Leveling kit and 35's

Mako's black King Ranch (He has some other pictures in the '04-'08 picture thread)

Leveling kit and 33's

SC Native's blue Lariat (I think he has some other pictures somewhere else also)

I'd be interested in hearing how much rubbing there is when you're off he pavement and bouncing around a little bit. The 35s definitely look better and its what I'm planning on getting.

I think you will rub while flexing and turning at the same time. There is not any room for suspension travel when the wheels are turned (on my truck). I am worried about mine come next hunting season! But I am going to just try and be carefull. To do some mudding I think I would go 33's.

I was and have been leaning towards a nice 33. I also find myself questioning the necessity of a huge lift. Same clearance for the most part and I am not crawling around on boulders. Once I get it all done I will post some pics.

I'm running nitto trails 285/65/18s in xd addicts 18x9 -12 offset with bilstien 5100s. They say they get 2 inches of lift to level the truck but I got 2.5 after install and my trucks level to about 1/8 of an inch diffrence. Truck look awasome. Good mud tires great tire to wheel well ration and the -12 offset sticks em out just right. Best part stayed under my budget and have no rubbing issues what so ever. If I were you I would deffently look into the nitto trail grapler 285s

Older pics, but to give you an idea this is about as far as my truck will flex without rubbing. I am running 33s.


As you can see, it's not much. If you will go off-roading with 35s definitely put a lift on.
