I read other posts that had similar question as mine and got some answers but here is my dilemma. I'm having a leveling kit installed in a couple days. I just stumbled on a good deal for 35 inch tires today and bought them. Obviously I want to put them on ASAP. Im concerned about rubbing and thinking maybe I should have some lift blocks installed as well to ensure clearance. Because of the short notice If i did install lift blocks they would just be some of the universal ones from like autozone or whatever. Are those universal ones worth it? Should I even bother with the blocks (I wouldnt mind the extra height). Any suggestions or opinions from people who have done similiar mods and tire sizes would be appreciated. Thanks!

Oh yea my rig is 2004 1500 4wd

with just a leveling kit, with your truck being a half ton the 35s are probly gonna rub i would add a body lift and youll have no worries and itll look way better.

Don't use those cheap parts store lift blocks. Trust me. I work at O'Reillys and sell them all day. It's a waste of money
