2017 Leveled with 35s?

[69GWC]

It does, but -24 is so far out I bet they hit the fenders at full turn or less.
I think 0mm to -12mm is about perfect, for clearances.

That I could see. I was thinking rub on the UCA

I've replied to a thread or two with this same information, so if anyone already saw it, sorry for being redundant. I am currently leveled with spacers in the front and I started doing research into running 35's with the suspension as-is. It looks like your best chance of having some rubbing is with stock wheels or at least wheels with stock'ish offset. I don't want to keep my stock wheels or the stock offset as I want a somewhat aggressive stance and the cheap plastic chrome cladding has just not grown on me in the 2 years of ownership. There are plenty of guys out there that have posted such a setup, with varying offsets that reported they did not need to trim anything and they have no rubbing. Then there are a few that say no trimming but slight rub at full lock. I haven't been able to pin that down to a particular range of offset as I've seen some with -24 offset that had no issues and some with -12 that had minor issues, but others with -12 or even more with no issues. Bottom line, I think it's close - close enough that the specific truck and/or tire might be enough to make the difference. Not all 35's are created equal. Some will be spot on 35" tall and 12.5" wide and some will be 34.76" tall and 12.49" wide, etc.. Not enough to pick up visually, but possibly enough to be the difference in a rub or no rub.

The only way to be sure you can run 35's is to lift 4" or more. However, with the varying results out there with just a level and most that run the 2.8" Billies reporting that they have no issues, I'm leaning towards a 3" bolt on lift with 20x10 -18 offset wheels. My tire shop is going to take a look at how I sit now and try and help me figure out if this will probably work before doing anything. I'm hoping, worse case, I end having to trim a little plastic or drop down to a 305/55 tire. The fender wells are so big on these trucks compared to other brands, anything in the 33 range just looks a little small in the front, so I'd rather trim a little plastic than drop down in tire size.

I really like your stance on your truck, can you give specs? 2.8? And how much were your tires?

These are things I would usually be able to give you specifics on. In this case I can't. When I picked my truck off the lot, I told them I wanted it delivered leveled with those specific model and size tires on it. I had asked if they would use the Bilstein adjustable shocks to level it with. I used those shocks to level my wife's 4Runner and it came out great and actually improved the ride and an infamous nose dive issue when braking was resolved as well. But the dealer wanted to use spacers to level the front and told me if I let them use their kit, they would cover everything in both the factory and the extended warranty I bought. I went with it with the intention to have the spacers replaced with the Bilsteins if I wasn't happy with it. But as it turned out, the truck rides and handles just fine with the spacers. So, I believe/assume I have 2.5" spacers in the front. Brand unknown but if MOPAR sells a kit under their name, I assume that's what the dealer would have used. I had the cost of everything included in my out the door price. And I may very well have a breakout of the price of the leveling kit and tires on some paperwork somewhere but frankly I didn't really care as long as I was happy with the out the door total. I know the tires aren't cheap but they are what I wanted at the time. I've been very satisfied with the tires. The wear has been good after 23k miles and they don't make any excessive road noise.

Haha no worries! I appreciate the reply

If you want 35s on stock wheels with no rubbing I had a 2014 1500 4x4 with the rancho quiklift leveling kit with Toyo Open Country M/Ts that were 295/65R20. They measure out to 35 but are only 11.5 instead of 12.5. IMO they were the best stance and tire I've ever had.

Do you happen to have a pic of this setup?

Unfortunately I lost all of my pictures from my last phone that had my 2014 ram. I wish I did. If you google "2014 ram 1500 295/65/R20" a lot of them show up. I just tried to see if I could find one. Sorry I don't have any old pictures.
