Default hello to all

so my name is justin i come from a background with trucks and jeeps and just got a 2011 fx4 screw 5.0 ... this is not my introduction i will post that in a few days once i get this thing rolling
i really need some help I've been looking on here for the last few days and have been buying stuff to put on the truck and I'm stuck on tire size right now

i have a 2" level kit ready to roll
1.5 adapters
and other mods going on I'm not mentioning
ill will update with pics after the tires go on

i love the stock fx wheel so I'm sticking with it but should i go 33 or 35 ?
i want togo with the nitto trail grappler and I'm ready to buy
what i need is info
with the tire size and the mpg drop with either not that it matters i bought a truck and mpg isn't going to be the best i just want to know what others went with and why
I'm ready to buy i just am tired of looking for countless hours and both sizes look damn good

Welcome to the forum! I think 33's and a level look awesome on stock wheels.

Some of Nitto's sizes defy a basic tire calculator. According to Nitto's website they are 34.45".

so even the 305/55r20 is still a good route
i just want the good median i just read 35s kill ya and 33s seems to be what a lot of people go with ..

I ran 305/55/20s on my last truck and wanted a bit more sidewall this time so I went with 295/60/20s.

I average 16.5 with my tuned Ecoboost which is better than any of my previous full size pickups so I'm happy with that. My 06 5.4L averaged 14.5 with 305/55/20s.
