2015 2500 Leveled w/ smaller tires?

[ahiaring]

I have a 2015 CC LB 6.7L white Ram pickup. I put a 2" level kit on the front and put on MB TKO black 18x8" wheels with 295/70 18 (34") nitto g2 terra grapplers. These nittos are junk - to soft like the old ones - and after 29000 miles I need new tires.

I already made up my mind that I will be getting BF Goodrich at2 tires. My concern is I have two size options - 275/70 18 (stock) or jumping clear up to 35x12.5 18s. I am leaning towards going down to the 275's but I am worried what the truck will look like with that smaller tire on an 8" wheel as compared to the 35's. Almost $400 difference by going one or the other.

Does anyone have 33" with a 2" level to share? How much will 35's stick out on an 8" rim? Pictures? Suggestions?

BTW - I have looked at 285/75 18 Toyos (34.8") just never used them before and don't like spending that much coin without experience.

Strange, I'm rolling terra g2's and have over 50k on mine. What psi are you running? I wouldn't put a 12.50 on an 8" rim. You'll have to air them down to get the edges to wear even w the centers...

I will be lucky to get 35k out of my Toyo MTs if i get that, I wont buy them again.
I will be going back to Bf Goodrich MTs I got 55k out of my last set of them.

I have Toyo at2 on both my trucks. My 1500 has 25000 miles on the toyos and I would say they are half worn. So if I get 40-50 out of them I would be very happy with that!

I am currently running stock 18" rims with 35/12.50/18 mudders. And I bought a set of 17" stock wheels with 285/70/17's on it. I can let you know Friday. I'll post pics. I am currently running 45 psi in my 35's.
