Which size and tire is best?

RE: Which size and tire is best?
They should fit with the leveling kit and some trimming. Ultimatly you should go with a 6" lift if you want to use the truck off road. (and if you want them not to rub at all anywhere)However I was originally thinking they were 33's not 35's.

Yeah.... 35"s will not even come close unless you've got a lift installed. 4" at least.
I'm always telling people to get 33/12.5s but no one listens to me. [:@]They fit with no rubbing at all if you lift the front 1.5 - 2 inches.

Yeah I know, I used to have BFG M/T's 33-12.50 R15's on then I decided that I wasn't going to pay $700 for a new set of rubber. So I went a size down and got them for 400 installed. Just some cheap A/T's but they have worked great for 4 years. (and I don't keep my foot out of it).

I have no idea... 35's are really quite a bit larger than 33's, and having the same as a 2' lift (w/ torsion crank) you're still awefully close. I'd say a 3' body lift just wouldn't be enough to clear 35's.

I'd agree on the 35's not fitting without a good sized lift/chopping fenders.
My friend an I are both running 305/55-20's with leveling kit/torsion bars. They are equivalent to just a hair over 33" X12".Juuuust clears about perfect, get some rubbing on inside of A-arm on full turn lock, no body clearance issues though.
He's got an '04 Silverado Z71withToyo Open Country A/T's on '08Tahoe wheels,and I've got an '02 Sierra Z71 withNitto Terra-Grappler A/T's on AR Torq Thrust ST's. Great tires, but hey, I'm biased, I like mine better, haha.
