I'm wondering why you are yelling but to answer your question..... I don't want to pay an extra 1K for a tire that is 3" smaller than advertised. Why would I pay 3k for a tire(that's what they cost up here in Canada for A 35" OR 37") when I am only getting 33.5" in the advertised 35" tire that i am supposed to have. Also, I want the true hight of a 37" so my truck can be a high as it can be. My truck would be raised 3.5" more if it put 37" NITTO's on. Hope that answers your question.

You don’t get 3.5” lift from a 3.5” taller tire. You get 1.5” lift at best depending on how stiff the tire is because half the tire height is above the axle and the more sidewall the more the tire will flex under weight. I do understand your concern on wanting a true to size tire if that’s what you are paying for. Especially since you plan on using more tire for extra ground clearance off-roading. Maybe go to a off-road tire shop and ask them for physical tire measurements.
