I'd have to raise the rear of the truck to fit them no? Was going to just start with the tires because I heard the Wrangler HP are horrible in the snow

Itll look stuffed but no you don't have to lift the rear. Only the front should be raised to fit 35s and even then it's tight. There will be some rubbing depending on wheel back spacing and offset. The width of the tire should also be considered.

I've had very good luck with Michelin tires over the years. The last set on my F150 had 65,000 miles on them and was still in good condition when I traded for my new RAM Longhorn.

You may fit a 34" tires without rubbing i suppose. To be on the safe side you would need wheels with some negative offset. I run a 33"x12" tire on an 18x9 wheel with -12 offset. Very safe setup with absolutely no rubbing. But that's only a stock tire size in terms of height.

Stock, my 2010 Sport runs 20x9 rims with +19 offset on 275x60R20 tires. It's a 33" tire. Not anywhere close to rubbing. I would say I could put 34" in there before I leveled it and not rubbed depending on the width. If I was just staying with my level/slight lift, I'd get 34" tires. But, being I'm adding 3" BL, I'm going to 35's.

What size 34s would you think be a good choice?

If I level what 35s?

Personally I wouldn't change sizes if you don't level. If all you want to do is level I would go with 34's. Maybe something around a 275x65R20. I don't know much about your factory rims though either.

I'm going with Terra Grapplers. I wanted an aggressive AT. Can't justify MT's cause of how many road miles I drive. My biggest concern is mine are in a 325 width and that's not the best for snow. But that's the size to get up to a 35" with those. Here's Terra's in that size I mentioned above.

Yeah you can get a lot of mileage out of michelins but dry rot like hell. I had the lte at2' s on my old ram and had to replace them under warranty. Michelin is the only tire company who warranties dry rot.
