Been searching a bit but couldn't find much. I have a 2013 5.0 Scab 145"wheelbase and I kind of want to put 35's on it but not really sure how the truck will deal. It has a rancho quick lift loaded level that claims it will fit 35's. Also I'm going to be on stock 18" wheels. Anyone running a set up like this? any advice? Also what can I expect to lose in MPG's? Thanks- Mike Edit I have a 3.55 and I'm looking to get Toyo open country at2's

I have a 2" level and 3" rear block. I am running 34" Trail Grapplers on an aftermarket rim (+20mm offset-factory is +44). I have no rubbing and did not have to trim anything. But, it's close. I think guys have ran 35's on a 2.5" level.
I have 3.73's and it is just enough gear to pull the Trails in that size. Where I live, 3.55's would take it too far out of the powerband. On generally flat ground it would be livable. I haven't corrected my speedometer yet and the onboard is consistently mid 12's. I am off 3-4 mph at 70 mph (slow). The truck sits noticeably higher with just a 2" level and 2" larger tire. The Trails have been outstanding in performance, from dry road to rain and snow. Can definitely hear them but I am very satisfied that they balanced perfectly and wear evenly. They do make the ride noticeably rougher. I wanted that size and about all I could find were 10 ply. Gonna rethink that next tire decision time.

Im two weeks in to have 35x12.5x18 on my 2012 F150 SCrew 4x4 i have a 2.5" front level. 0 offset rim, honestly have no idea i went up 3" in tires. I had stock LT before, i had some trimming to do only plastic, and the only time they will rub is the very rare occasion when the wheel is turned at the perfect angle and i go over a decent size bump. Biggest down fall is the fuel loss im up 5l/100km and losing about 150-200km a tank compared to where i was on stocks. But in the end totally worth it.
