Default 35s with a BDS level?

Called BDS and Diversified who does the install and they say 35s will fit. Anybody here wanna talk me out of it ......lol.

If i dont do 35s im probably gonna do 295x60x20 (34). I live in michigan.

Also should i stayaway from trail graps because of all the snow up here?

I don't have a BDS level, I have a Readylift 2.5" leveling kit and 35's will fit with minor trimming. I would tell you to definately do it. They cover more of the wheel well and look a lot better than 33" in my opinion. Can't help you on a mud tire in the snow, because it doesn't really snow much in Florida! Haha but anyway I have the Toyo open country MT and love it so far..

With a 6" lift I wouldn't go any smaller than 35's personally. Most of the people around here take their mud tires off for winter and run actual snow/winter tires. I live in snow country though where it is the law to run the "snow flake" rated winter tires not just m/s rated tires.

Edit: Upon further review....... I see I misread the original post!! Therefore I retract my original statement and and replace it with: I wouldn't go any bigger than 34". My apologies!!
I'll pay closer attention next time!!

35's do look good but remember the taller you go you will lose performance and mileage. 3.55 gear's I would stick with a 33 or 34 inch tire. Just my 2 cent's

Is it just the front or do you have the rear block and shocks too. Love the look of your truck and it has made white with black trim a close second to my favorite... all black. Keep it up!
