35s with the Tbars Cranked-image-2412706673.jpg

What size/kind of leveling kit are you guys running or would you think I need to fit 315/70/17 on my truck. I'm currently on 305/70/17 with the stock keys cranked up and all I got was 23 inches from center of hub to bottom of fender.

Pick up some aftermarket keys or new tortion bars. Keep your front end at or below 25.25" and you will be golden. All of the aftermarket keys or pretty much the same. I would still buy name brand though.

BTW: your tires should have been around 33.8" brand new.

So if I get some name brand 3in keys and just put it up to 25.25 I should be fine to fit the 315 which are ab a 34.5

You will fit them with no trouble. May have slight rub on valence or fender well plastic depending on wheel width and offset.

Aaaaaaand since the money for a regear is not in the budget I will run what I have and Ill regear it when I decide to go 35" and lift it.
I have 33's on 3.31's and it's not that bad, a little slow off the lime but other than that it drives fine, unless you feel the need to do burnouts everywhere lol.
