so do 35's fit?
After reading many different posts. Simple yes or no would end this. Do 35'x12.5's fit a Stock(NO leveling kit) 2005 F-350 and stock rims? Truck will be used for minor off-roading, mostly road travel.

The only thing the off road pkg gives you that is different from a 4x4 is skid plates , rancho branded shocks, steering stabilizer, oh and the sticker 
no other advantage unless somethin changed in 2005

That's a cool guide. If ppl can put 35" tires on a stock SD why does it say a 4" lift? Or is it for off-road purpose's.

yes, they fit
Yes they fit. I've been running BFG MT 35x12.5 on the factory 18" wheels for a month now. They don't even get close to rubbing. I honestly think that with the 2" DR levelling kit I'm about to install I could fit 37's I think the key is whether or not you use after market wheels with a large amount of offset.

They fit on my truck! 3000 miles so far and no problems. Have had it in the sand dunes, the woods (dead logs and such) and the mud boggy area of my farm. No rubbing at all even at full compression while turning. There are pics in my gallery.

No kit was used but my truck does have the Snow Plow Prep Pkg. I have not been able to get a definite answer as to the difference in the front springs when this pkg is ordered. Some say that they are the same height but just stiffer/higher rate of compression. While others say they are an 1" to an 1.5" higher with the same rate of compression as the stock springs. My dealer was no help in that matter so if anyone knows please pass it on.
The tires still look new after 3000 miles, 95% of which has been highway/street driving. The lugs/tread are 21/32" deep so they should last pretty long. I would expect to get 30,000+ miles on them.
Hope this helps.

Elburn Bill, Check this post: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=369437
It shows that the spring heights are the same just different rates.

I did see that info just before I read your reply. I do not know what the coil code is for the snow plow pkg but I am sure it is rated for a higher operational weight capacity than the normal F350. Taking this info into consideration one could see why my truck appears to have a leveling kit on it since I do not carry the extra weight of the plow hardward on the front. The coil heights listed are "at operational weight" i.e. with the plow hardware installed. Even the tire guys that did my install did not think that the 35's would fit. They said that there were several other guys in 05 350s that tried but failed. They were amazed that mine fit so well and without any hint of rubbing.
