So I've put a MOTOFAB leveling kit on. 3" on front and 1.5" on rear. I've been thinking of doing 35's because I like the look of the wheel wells being filled. 33's will allow for better suspension travel when off road, but I don't do alot of off roading. I'm kind of torn between the 2. Any suggestions and thought as well as pics would be appreciated.

Easy answer.....35's. These trucks look damn good with a leveling kit and 35's IMO.

Same old question for like 2 decades, 33 or 35 and totally skip the option of running 34's. I say 34's with a 18 inch wheel.

I'm a fan of tires not rubbing and being able to articulate as much as the truck will allow, I'd say a 33 on a 17.

I think that looks good with the 33". My 2014 QC has a 2.75 inc level and I just replaced the tires and kept the stock 275/60r20's and couldn't be happier with the look and the ride of the Cooper Discoverer AT3s. :favorites13:

Try the middle ground at 34 or 34.5. The Nitto all terrain tires are in that size range. Either the Terra Grappler or Ridge Grappler.

I suggest the same thing. Hit the middle with 34's. (295/60/20). That's what I just put on because I also felt 33's were too small.

Here's a pic of my truck. I just put new Cooper Discoverer at3's in the stock size. I think it looks great with the more aggressive looking tire. I have a 2.75 inch ProComp Leveling kit with Zone UCA's

When I bought my truck the previous owner had a 2in levelling kit and 275/65/20 (34") but only measure 32" when these are worn out I'm going to 35's truck looks a lot better with 35's

To each his own but 18's look silly IMHO.

Always get 35's if you are going for looks. Stock size is underwhelming on these when you level them. I just did a 2.5 in the front and 35's. Depending on the tire though you will need a .25" spacer.

I have 35's on stock 20's, no rubbing with a .25' spacer plate. It is very tire dependent some are fatter than other.
