35's an a leveling kit?

With just a leveling kit will I be able to run a set of 35" buckshot mudders on my stock lariat rims? I've got an 03 CC FX4

Only on 05 or newer, not on an 03, you need to front level atleast.

I run 35's with an add a leaf in the front. It is a Tuff Country 1.5'' add a leaf and it raised the front about 1.75''. I get a little rub on full lock with the spring compressed, but otherwise works great.<CENTER></CENTER>

I've got 35's on OEM wheel's w/ a 2.5" leveling kit. It does rub at full lock to the left. It's not recommended to run that wide of a tire on those 7" wheels, but I'm getting new wheels in the spring, so it's only temporary.

Pics in my gallery.
