need help with tire selection....

i have a 2005 F-350 (5.4 gas motor) with a 2.5 inch leveling kit...i need new tires and i want something with some meat to them like the Nitto mud grapplers or Mikey thompson baja claws.... would 35inch tires fit my truck with this set up? and if they do fit how are they going to hold up with alot of road drivin? or should i stick with 33s that i have on it? im up for any recommendations...i just want it to look good!

id say stick with the 33's i have 35's on mine with a 4 inch lift. got bored on day so took them off and put em on my step dads 02 350 with 2.5 inch leveling kit. they fit but rubbed like CRAZY. they rub when they on my truck. 33 will still look good specialy if they have sum meat on them. u looking for the mud terrain look or the all terrain. i got goodyear wrangler mt on mine they look good but be carefull cuz they are gona wear quicker than somthing with less tread. the more tread they got the quicker they gona wear just keep that in mind

The tires holding up is not the issue. The problem is having the TRUCK hold up with such huge tires on it. With such huge tires you are adding four HUGE flywheels. This adds an UNBELIEVABLE strain on the engine, brakes and ALL drivetrain components. If you're ready to deal with such short life and breakage, then I expect that they will fit with some minor interference issues.
