Thanks for all the responses. I will still be debating for a while longer. Leaning towards a 33 for funtionality. I would like to see some 35's in action. If I were wealthy I would run 1 for a while and switch to write a big review. Unfortunately, not wealthy so there will be no write up or pictures of each performance. Thanks again and I look for more feedback from others.

If you're going to work the truck doing real off roading (rock crawling, etc) you're going to have times when the front suspension is going to take a good hit with a fully cranked wheel and I would would bet you'd end up tearing something up with 35's. My 37" still scrub occasionally with 9" of lift.

Default leveled with 35's off road

I have done some pretty serious stuff with the 35's on there - the only problem ever is when fully turned. I will try and get some flexing pictures on here to show. I have done plenty though, and they have never hit. Check out some of my pictures of how the truck looks and performs. Not as fancy as some of the other ones, but it gets the job(s) done. Good luck. Also, I stuck with the stock rims so the tires could still tuck up under the fender when loaded (or flexed). And I didnt have to buy new ones. And they look pretty good. And I didnt have to buy new ones.

Default Flex

Finally got some flexing pictures up - not sure how to insert the link - check out my album. This has nothing to do with average off road use, but it shows how far it can go. As I said before, I have done plenty of off-roading and never had a problem. Hope this helps.

I have a 2wd XLT 3" body lift, 3" rancho suspension. I have 35x12.5 R20 tires. The only time I rub is when I am in extreme flex and turn. The rub is minor, so minor I am letting it wear through my bushwacker on its own. This is on the front. On the rear, it touches only when the one rear tire is the lowest, if that makes sense to anyone else. Again, its working itself out it is so minute. I am also running 1.5" wheel spacers, and think this is a main part in why I am rubbing when flexing. I added them though to gain some space between the tire and UCA. Thats my $.02. Feel free to return any change
