Ok so I have a 2008 screw 4x4. Want to put a 2 or 2.5 level depending on what I need to get it level....will figure that out. From reading I think I have it correct that I can run 35/12.5/18 on factory rims. If this is correct will I have to trim anything and if so how much? Also I have 3.55 gears, are they gonna be fine to turn 35s without any problems? I don't want to re-gear right now.


Thanks in advance.

All depends on the offset of the rims and ACTUAL width of the tires (example: Nitto Trail Grap claims 12.50 but is ACTUALLY 13.4" wide when including lugs on the side wall of the tire).

There are dudes that are running a 18x9 with a 0 offset and didn't have to trim anything. There are also dudes on here that had to trim with a 33" tire. If anything, you'll have to trim some plastic.

It is a factory set of rims.

You'll need to trim some plastic. May need wheel spacers not to rub.

What about the 3.55 gearing. Will there be any problems with it and a 35" tire? Also what size spacers do you think I will need? And how hard on things are the spacers?

Not sure on the size of spacers. If you get hub centric spacers you'll be fine. A lot of people run 35s with 3.55 gears and claim no power loss.

Is there a recommended leveling kit for the front? Or are they all about the same?

They're all about the same. There's a ton of people on here who are running the eBay spacers.

Ok I think I measured wrong and possibly ordered the wrong front spacers. I think I was tired and couldn't add correctly and ordered 2.5" spacers. After rechecking today I think the front is only 1.5" lower. Can I add blocks on top of the factory blocks that are already there, which seem to be 2" blocks, or just take them off and put a 3" block in?
