Default 35" Tires, 2" Level, Platinum 20's..Will it work?

Hey guys, first off, glad to be a part of this forum. The wealth of knowledge and know how on here is tremendous.

Now i know the "will it fit" topic is something that has been discussed many a time, as it was one that helped me ultimately decide to go with my current 275/70/18 KO2s and 2" AutoSpring Level.

I just bought a set of 100 mile 2017 Platinum 20's (been looking for a while, these fell into my lap by some act of God) for $500. I am ultimately wanting to run some 35x12.50 KO2s on them, but am unsure if ill have to bump up to a 2.5" level or not. It seems most people on here have a 2.5" with 35s, but Im just curious if anyone knows if it can be done with a 2". My truck is 2014 XLT Screw, 4WD.

Even though i know we all know what wheels im talking about, i have posted a few pics of them because I cant help but keep looking at them.

I appreciate your help in advance.

The 2" level should give you enough height. The 35" KO2's measure out to 34.5".
Because of the wider tires you might get a slight rub on the UCA's when turned to full lock. If so...just don't turn to full lock too often.

You'll definitely rub your UCA's.

I know a guy who runs 35x12.5 with some 1/4 wheel spacers, and that helped a lot. I think he got them from rough country's website

Get 1.25" spacers and trim the air damn a little. 2" autospring level on 35x12.50s

Can you fit a 35/12.5 on a factory rim? I'm wondering because I've got an extra tire I wanna use as spare and don't have luck finding a single raptor wheel or aftermarket without spending a small fortune

It would really depend on the wheel as far as I know. I've seen it on all wheels except the 11th gen 17 inch wheels, too narrow I think. Im pretty positive the raptors come with 34s or 35s from factory, dont quote me on that though.

Yea the raptors are a 315/70/17 and the wheel is I believe 8.5 wide I've got 17x9 w the 315/70/17. I thought most standard wheels were about 7.5 or so wide I'm not sure

Thats a good looking truck man. Is 1.25" the minimum size you think is needed? Id like to be as small as possible with spacers if theyre absolutely necessary.
