35's look tiny....
Bought some 315/70R17 Duratracs for my truck, stock, no leveling kit, and I must say I'm a bit disappointed. I think I could easily have stuffed 37's under it. The installed diameter with 45 psi is only 33". So now I'm thinking about going with 37's, which would actually be 35's installed, and instead of raising the front, pulling out the overload springs in the back to drop it about an inch........Any input?

Next time buy actual 35x12.15 tires. The metric sizes are almost always a little smaller.

My older 37 inch MTR's measured 37 inches tall.
It depends on the tire you choose so measure before you buy.

Yeah, the website said actual diameter was 34.5", I figured it would squat half inch, not 1.5"......

Why only 45psi? Seems super low. Try 60psi and they won't be so short
