Yes. Some people clear 35s with cranked T-bars iirc. Just depends on how wide you're trying to go.

You can on a 4x4. One of the most common pieces of knowledge on these trucks is that 4x4's can fit 35's simply leveled

You might be okay but I got a leveling kit and I go about 2" out of it. The tires fit but because they were 12.5 wide I would have had to cut the hell out of the plastic on the bottom of my bumper...I am talking a lot and even after that, if I would have hit a bump, the tire was going to come back onto the frame behind the wheel wells. They might fit, but you need to make sure that when you flex, the tire is not going to be hitting the frame or bumper because that is where your going to have problems. I was told don't do it unless your getting at least a 4" lift. After much research, I found that its best not to go over a 2" body lift because of the stress that you put on the longer bolts that hold your body on. In the long run it is cheaper just to put a suspension lift on and be done with it rather than screw your body all up and be replacing the cab, bed, going through tires and wheels. Just my take on things. Even with the leveling kit, I went through two sets of axles and got fed up with it so I will be picking my truck up tomorrow with a 6" lift
