Check my gallery. I have 35" BFG Mud terrains, the new KO style. I have no body lift and just a 2" leveleing kit (more like 1/2") in the front. I hade to space the bumper out 1" to clear the tires on turns, but 35's will fit no problem.
DON'T EVER try to fit tires designed for one size rim to another. 16.5 to 16.5, NOT to a 16" rim or a 17" rim. Either get new rims, or different tires.

If I was you I would stick with 33" tires. 35" tires with just a 3" body lift would be pushing it. You might create some fender rub when you need that wheel travel off-road. As for a good valued tire. I would suggest the BG GOODRICH MUD TERRAIN. They are only $150 for 33" and $162 for 35". they are a 3 ply rating which is pretty goood. They also come with a 40,000 mile warranty. Hope this helps!:-X12

Thanks! I have 4 bolts that hold my bumper on. I have access to a lathe, so I took some bar stock, turned it down, drilled it through, and bang, 1" spacers. Better than a stack of 20 washers! I paid $792 installed for the BFG Muds here in Michigan. They are 35x12.50x16.5. You sound like you need some custom bracketry to get your bumper where you need it, 3" up and an inch or 2 out right?
