Stock Suspension with 35 Show your Trucks
Im looking to purchase new rims and tires. I would love to fit a 35 tire but don't want to do a leveling kit or I can't park in my garage. Living in the Great White North so garaging a diesel in the winter is better than plugging in. Wondering if its possible with no trim or cutting. Im looking at Fuel rims or Sota with a Nitto Ridge Grappler or BFG KO2. I have the snow plow package if that makes a difference. Recommendations????

I just put on 35x12.5R17 General X3s on 17x9 Raceline Defenders with a 5" backspacing on the stock suspension yesterday. So far I haven't had any issues with rub. They Stick out just a little bit, nothing obnoxious.

Looks sharp!!! That is the way it should come from factory. Skinny tires drive me crazy.

Stock height on 37s... no body rub whatsoever at full articulation, rubs sway bar and radius arms. I’m having a sway bar made and going with aftermarket radius arms to eliminate that rub...

not what you asked to see but figured it’d give you full confidence on 35’s.

35's fit no problem stock, not even close to rubbing.

Which aftermarket radius arms are you getting to not have rub on factory wheels with 37's?

theres a whole thread comparing radius arms, here’s a post with pics of PMF and Lewis:

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...8&postcount=11

I’ve spoken with both manufacturers and the brackets are pushed over to increases clearance. I haven’t fully settled my mind in which to go with.

Carli’s fixed radius arm also has the indentation placed to support larger tires and is an option, but I’m set on adjustable.
