Mine dont even rub the frame at full lock, my old setup did with 315/70-17 on stock wheels.
So we can fit 35s without a lift. What kind if wheels are you running

'ive got a 01 supercrew and im thinking about going with 16x10 ion alloy 171 with 305/70/16 mud grapplers or mtz's but the backspacing is 4 inches would that make much of a difference over 4.5 backspacing i know its only a half inch i've got a leveling kit on it on the truck

Yes, that 1/2" will make a drastic difference (IMO) to the naked eye. You'll notice. But, in the end it comes down to what kind of look you like. I wouldn't like it. Heck, I'm shopping for new wheels and I'm sweating over 8mm!! Search around...tons of photos of our truck with guys running 4.5" backspacing on 10" wheels.

What size is your leveling kit? I'm doing the same thing this weekend. 305x70x16 Dynapro ATm's and a 2.5" leveling kit on my '03 SCrew. Also adding ProComp shocks to front. Everything I've been told says this will work.

Do not buy t-bar leveling kits they are worthless

Wandell "you don't need a leveling kit. Your front ride height is adjustable via the amount of preload on the torsion bars. No need to pay $200 for a product that lets you do something that is free."

Hunterjh had a leveling kit "PLEASE trust what these guys are saying....i did not....and therefore had to replace my cv axles three times in a year....as well as ball joints and control arms...the keys are AWFUL...."

You dont get any height from 7700 tbars. They just make the front of the truck ride like crap. I have them with keys that are cranked and it rides like its on bricks even with my RS9000xl's on level 1.

Thats because you have not only the stiffest t bars, but you have lift keys and they are cranked! I think it would ride like sheeet!

305/70/16 or 33x12.5 on 16x10 wheels. Torsion bars were cranked to level front with rear and trimmed front valence with no scrubbing.
