i have a 06 f150 king ranch SCREW 4x4 im installing my 2/5 leveling kit today and am planning on getting some sort of mud terrain tire but was wondering which to go with either a 33 or 35 inch tire btw there on the stock 18 inch wheels

 

go 35's. I went with 33's and have regretted every minute of it.

 

well, i would try to drive one with 35s on it. u lose a lot of speed and gas mileage. Are u gonna need that clearance (1") of is it just for looks. to me the performance loss isn't worth the looks, not to mention cost of tires n gas. but 35s look badass

 

I have an 05 King Ranch. I installed the Bilsteing 5100's to level the truck. I went with a 305/55/R20 which is 33.2 inches x 12.00 inches when you convert it. I think you would be happier with a 33" tire. Personaly I think it will look like you stuffed those 35" tires under the fender and it might look a little odd, but everyones different. I also agree that your going to lose a lot of performance, also if you take it hard off road I cant see it not rubbing a little with 35's. I will post picks of mine later today if I get a chance.

 

I went with 33's. I did so though because I tow and plow and didnt want to be rubbing on everything. The 35's will look better on the stock wheels but may rub on the control arms. They may also require some trimming esp if they are aggressive mud terrains. My 33's (285/70/17) look good and dont hit or rub anywhere. You could also look into a 34" tire. There are some good pics of 33's 34's and 35's throughout this site. If its for show only (prob on a king ranch) then go 35's, if its used then 33's or 34's.

 

Go 33's, unless your planning a bigger lift down the road. Theyre cheaper, looks less stuffed, lighter, and your performance/gas mileage doesnt suffer quite as hard. Here is my truck with 33's and i think it looks just right.

 

I have 35x12.5x17"s on the stock rims on my 06 4x4. I work the **** out of my truck (off-road and on) and have never had an issue with the tires. They do rub on the upper control arms at full turn, but this only slightly increases my turning radius - no other negative affects. I got a steal on the set ($550 on rims), so thats what I went for. It really comes down to personal taste - there are plenty of examples on the site to really hone in on your preference. I know I saw a white king ranch leveled on 35" mud grapplers that looks beautiful, but again it comes down to you. Good luck - you wont make the wrong choice.
