35's look cool but don't fit in the stock spare tire location and also require a wider wheel offset to clear the upper control arms, which pushes out the scrub radius out and makes the truck more susceptible to getting pushed around by road crown and ruts.
I'm not out picking up cute guys so cosmetic appearance is the lowest priority for me, it's gotta work first and ~33" does what I need it to do.

This thread is starting to sound like ‘Chevy Forum’ response with picking up guys etc. o_O

depends on what you want? drag racing, deep mud, pavement queen, lots of snow, stock rims or going aftermarket? No correct answer unless you ask yourself and answer (to use too).

What is your preference on tires and rims for your truck big rims or big tires or both
By big rims do you mean the 20" glitter rims with the 3" sidewalls? I'm missing your signature. 18's max for a stable,smooth ride.

Longest “run-on” sentence I’ve ever read! I tried to make it as legible as possible.

Nope, I replace water mains, but take pride in notlookingdumb. To add to the original topic, I like 34’s on a leveled 4th gen with minimal tire poke. (If you choose to use spacers )
My next set of tires will be 275/65/20’s.
I’m a big fan of 35’s on these trucks, but not for me. My carport and garage are low, and the difference between a 1/2” won’t make a difference for me getting my dirtbikes in the woods.

i personally prefer more tire less wheel. i run 17's with 35x12.50. i would prefer to do 37's but i tow a bit and i would rather not re-gear the truck

That’s my Parking setup wit 2”’s up front, and 1” in the back on stock size 275/60/20’s. This is not a competition, you’re just bad at grammar. Relax!
I think my tire size looks good for the amount of lift, but think 34’s would look better when the time comes . I don’t wheel the sh*t out if this truck, it’s too nice.
So back to the original question,( for a second time), …
Your truck won’t know the difference of a 1/2”! 35’s look great on 2.5” and above but when it comes down to it, and off road decision making, it’s the driver picking lines….
