I had that 35 under their before i lifted my truck. It will fit. The only place it is really close is the receiver part of the hidden hitch.

Yeah I finally got off my butt as Steath suggested and measured again today. Your right, I've got 36" from diff cover to hitch plate. So there's another $200 for another tire :o

Maybe I should look around for another FX4 rim and use it instead of the black spare rim, so I could put the spare in normal rotation...or maybe just get a low cost used 35" or AT maybe and leave it under the bed unless I need it. Wonder how hard it would be to get a single FX4 rim...off to ebay I guess.

Thanks Powerage for this pics/help/etc...

Unless you have a dual exhaust that goes straight out the back.If i had it to do over id go with the side exit.But they do look good straight out the back

5th tire's in, going to run by and get it mounted/balance/etc after work...

EDIT - mounted and balanced...Ford Service guy says it won't fit, I says sure it will just a bit tight at the hitch...and sure enough...Fits fine. I would take pics but they would look just like Powerage's above so I didn't bother. My Service Advisor didn't charge me anthing either, so that was a nice suprise
