I did the CFT links and 35s. Looks perfect.
My tire shop took measurements and said that 35s wouldn’t work... I followed cft instructions and did 4 full turns which was supposed to add another inch lift to the already leveling height. However I did fail to measure mormal ride height before installing links so I don’t know what I got out of it.

Whats funny is the factory rims you have are my favorite of the 4th gen oe ones.If you lived near me I'd be asking to buy them so I'd have a matching winter wheels. Our trucks are pretty similar.15543139891197253801337684272905.jpg

Mine are for sale on CL. Asking 990 but probably very expensive to ship! Lol! Yes our trucks are very similar!

Not sure who your tire shop is, but they were dead wrong. There are thousands of guys running a level front and 35s. I've done it on two trucks myself. An 11 with Bils, and my 13 with the links. Level is level, and 35s definitely fit. In fact, I had the 35s installed on my 11 the day before I leveled it.
It looked funny, but they fit. Plenty of room with the level.

I think the fact that I have the air ride system? I don’t know? Shop is one of the better wheel and tire shops around. They usually are on top of their game!

Do you take your truck out on the trail? I've heard the links sacrifice off road ride quality.
