I was thinking same thing with body lift... maybe the 1.25 rather then the 3in. I only have a rcsb so i dont want it to high, i think it'll look better kinda stuffed.

I don't know, RCSB's look sweet standing tall. Just my opinion though.

I have a 2.5 inch leveling kit from Hell Bent Steel. I put 295/70/17's on it. But there is plenty of room for 35's.

You should post a pic

It all comes down to personal preference. Some say the 65s are too stuffed and then some say the 60s leave to much wheel gap. For my truck I think it has the perfect wheel space.

OP, a 1.5'' body lift could be another option for you to run a larger tire without having to worry about prematurely wearing out suspension components ( Ball Joints / CV's ) etc etc. that are common down the road issues with leveling kits.

Yep the front @2.1 and the rear Bilstiens 5100 0-2" shocks. The rear shocks DO NOT lift the rear at all, just a better ride


Wait a second... I'm posting from an iPhone?

Worried about gas then you don't need 35's but it doesn't seem to have had much loss of mileage on daughters

Have you gone through any decent amount of snow with that tire?

No I have with my toyo MT and they were fine. I believe these will be better.

I wanted to get the iroks but since those trail grapplers have a 295/70/17 I kinda want those
