How big can I go???

Does anyone know how big of a tire I can clear with just a leveling kit on the front??? Got 33's on it now, wondering if 35's or 34's would fit. Any suggestions?

ditto, though mine are more like 34.5 (315/70/17), i can see 35s fit with no problems.

it depends on the wheel dimensions.... some wheels will allow you to clear 35's, while others will not.

If your wheel is a 5.0 inch or better backspace you can clear 35's with a three inch leveling kit i am running a 4.75 backspace and i am running a 35 but it scrubs too much for me

It is all about wheel spacing/ Im running 35s with leveling kit and a 3'' body lift, light scrubbing on my nerf bar brackets. I would need to trim them some before real off-road.

Yea, I don't want them to rub any. I had some 325/60R18's on the truck and they were so wide I had to modify my fenders a little. Thanks for the info. What are the dimenisions on those 35's you are running if you don't mind me asking?

35x12.50x17 on 17x8, not shure about the back spacing. I ordered them as a tire wheel package from 4wheelparts when I bought the truck new its an 04 so its been a long time. I didnt think nobody knew back in 2003 around x-mas time there was only two wheels to even choose from..lol
