Thats exactly the size I want to go with, dang! These big trucks make 35's look practically stock lol! Back in the old body style you'd probably be doing a 6" lift to git them lol! That size isnt always available with all the manufacturers yet so I might end up with 35x12.5's seem more available although for winter driving I think the 285/75/18 would be a bit better for the narrower profile. Maybe I should just say screw it and try for 37's...

I have pics of mine almost stuck.
It is kind of pathetic though, 2wd, auto and an open rear diff.
