Would I be able to run 35x12.5 R17 on a 2.5 leveled 1500 if I add a 1.5 inch body lift? Has anyone done this? If so post some pics. Thanks!

Depending on the wheel offset you can get a 35 under the truck with a level alone.

What he said. If you do have rubbing though the body lift should fix it

People are running 35's with a bilisten 2.8 lift without issues so I would assume your over all lift of 4" would be fine.

If its stock wheels you should be safe, but if they are high offset as thats the current style they could hit the body, mostly plastic parts.

Yes that was my exact set up when I had my 2013 1500. No rubbing.

Likely no as they will more than likely hit at the lower rockers. If it doesn't it will be very very close. With the level and body lift you'll get away with trimming plastic and not need to hammer the body seam.

I did a 2.25" level in front 1.75" rear and had to trim some plastic with stock 20's and 35's. Ended up doing a 1.25" spacer to assist with full lock in reverse clearance.

My 2012 is leveled with a 1.5" BL and I've never had any problems with rubbing. I have -12 offset 18"x9" wheels and 35x12.5s.

-12 should be fine, the -44 might need some trimming on the corners

I did a 2in Ready Lift Leveling kit, along with 2.5in Bora wheel spacers to fit 35/12.5/20 Nitto Trail Grapplers on stock wheels. I do have a slight rub, but only when i turn a hard left ( slight plastic rub and I havent gotten around to fixing it). I havent had a bad experience yet but to be honest I wish I would have just gone with a 4inch lift or at least the Billsteins strut.

I have a 6 inch BDS lift with Bilstein 5100s and Strut spacers. Would I be able to swap to the Rough Country Vertex 6 inch coilovers with no issue?
