Has anyone put 35's on their F350 with no lift yet? Just wanted to make sure there was not any fitment issues.

it seems that you CAN, but any serious bump will cause rubbing. i had a leveling kit in my 2003 F350, stock rims and 35"s and i couldnt run front mudflaps without serious rub while turning, so i just ran without front flaps. the stock rims may have caused that rubbing.

leveling kits are so cheap and available, around $100-130 bucks it seems, that when im ready for new tires im going to do a leveling kit and 35"s.

That's what I did and many other have. Zero issues with that configuration in some fairly extreme articulation situations.

What leveling kit are you using? I was looking around and there are a bunch out there already.

I ran Toyo Open Country LT 285/75R18 on my 2006 F350. They are 34.8" tall.

Never had any problems, Never had a rub and that truck was stock height. No lift.

The stock LT275/65R20 tires that come on the the trucks are 34.1"
Doing a plus size to LT285/65R20 gives you a 34.7" tire.
Based on that size working with my 2006 truck, I would guess you would be safe with it.

One thing to keep in mind is that it isn't always the height that is the main variable. You have to consider the extra width of the tires when making sharp turns.

Be careful with wheel offset also(if replacing factory wheels). I run 35's with a medium offset wheel(18x8.5 with 5.5" backspace) and it is pretty tight.

If ya didn't see Epic's signature, he got the Auto Spring leveling kit. Some others have it as well and it's only 90 bucks and if you get the shock spacer it's like 140. I called Auto Spring and they actually said you don't need the shock bracket, go figure.
