Does anyone have pictures of a 2wd 2nd gen with level kit and body lift and also how big of a lift to fit 35s without rubbing?

I think no matter what a 2wd will alway rub at full lock with 35s.

I know you can run 35s with the fabtech 6.5 spindle lift but I didn't know if anyone has run them on a level kit and body lift.

Couldn't tell you. On a 4x4, 35s rub the control arms but since you don't have any it's hard to say. You probably could with enough offset, at the expense of your balljoints of course.

I guess 33s would be a better option.

Do you think a body lift and leveling it would be too much for 33s? I read somewhere that you cant fit 33s on a 2wd with just a level kit.

A level should let you run 285s safely enough. Granted you're also 2wd so there are differences in spring rates between 2 and 4. It depends on the level size I suppose, 2.5-3" level should let you clear 33s.

Plenty 2WD run 2" levels with 285/75R16 no problem.

2.5" is max you can go with stock upper control arms.
