The general rule of thumb is 33's on a leveled 2wd and 35's on a leveled 4wd. The aal will only lift the rear a little but the problem is your front wheels will rub. You may beable to fit them in there with ALOT of trimming and you are basically guaranteed to rub. You can however get a 3" body lift from Performance Accessories and you will beable to fit 35"s.

You will need a suspension lift if you want to go bigger. A leveling kit will only allow for 33" tires. The add-a-leaf in the rear does nothing for your tires rubbing into the control arms in the front.

My winter wheels, 20" with 34" tires, do not rub at all with my level kit.

your truck is also a 4x4 so it sits higher.

I apologize for not being clearer. I typed a response on my phone and must have lost the rest of it.

....I was responding to nettershakes post about the 35" on a leveled 4wd. My 34's are stuffed in there and I would imagine if 35's do in fact fit, quite a bit of trimming must be done for them to function somewhat properly.

How much taller are the 4wd than the 2wd?

They're about 2" taller than 4x2.
