lowered rear

Changed out rear blocks for shorter oem 2"er's...now the next questions is what is everyone running for tire sizes? Can you still clear 35's in front like the leveled front trucks?

285/65R20 (34.5) still fit mine with some room left so I am sure 35" would fit

Lowering the rear does not raise the front. If you haven't changed anything up front, then you're limited to whatever tire sizes folks here have found fit the stock-height configuration..

Sorry, but when I read this post of yours, it sounded like you wanted to run larger tires like a "leveled" truck.

I do want to run larger tires....35's are larger than my stock 275's that are on the truck, that is on the post. That's why I was asking for people to chime in. People are fitting 35's on stock suspension trucks. I am not concerned with rear fitment, I just wanted to see some pics and maybe have some options, not a deadend post from people not helping by not answering what I asked for in the post. Thanks for the help you did not give.....smh.

I also believe a 295/65R20 would fit. I would have them on my truck if I could find a winter rated tire in that size that I like

some of the 35s dont even measure out to a true 35. The stocks 275 Michelins are 34.1 according to their site. Some of the 35x12.50s only measure to a 34.7 depending on manufacturer, so not much gained. The 295/65/20 in most manufacturers will be a 35.4ish but maybe 11.5 wide. Ive been going through this dilemma myself and have looking at tire manufacturers websites for true sizing. Not sure if i want to reverse level and do 295s or level front and do 37s.

Oops! Missed that. Wait a sec! That wasn't in your post unless you expect me to read the sidewalls in your photo. But you're quite welcome for my non-help dealing with incomplete data. Bless your heart!

I hear ya Spooledsrt , my 275's on my stock 18" rims actually only measure 31" on truck and I have 12k on it....way shorter than the 34" tires on you guys with stock 20's so a 34 or 35" tire would be a big improvement for my truck. I want to put a 35 or close to that but I do not want to run a 9" rim with + offset. I would rather do a 33 or a narrower 295 on a 20x10" rim with zero offset. I don't want them sticking out a mile but I do like having more of a deep look to the rim. Im also flirting with running a 295 on my stock 18"s camping nut and put a 1" spacer on rear rims to make truck stance the same front to back. I also pull a 35'er fifth wheel like yourself.

I would really just like to find someone that has leveled the rear an thrown some 35's and aftermarket rims to see how they are clearing before I buy some just so they rub or I buy something I don't really want trying to play it safe.

I reached out to custom offsets and they sent me this link. Its for an older 06' but a true 33 on 20x10 with some offset that looks good. https://www.customwheeloffset.com/wh...-2in-drop-rear

Ive got an 18 F250. Lowered the rear last year with the F350 blocks and still had a slight rake. A few weeks ago I installed the Readylift 1" coil spacer that is actually 1 1/4" and a Readylift adjustable track bar (to straighten out the front). The truck is now completely level (no rake, no *** drag). Im running 285/75/18 Duratrac which is a 35" tire on stock rims and have absolutely no rubbing issues. I plan on installing a set of airbags in the rear in case I want to haul something.
