Thanks again guy's
do your homework with wheel width and backspacing if you plan to run 35s. from all my research, im at the ABSOLUTE limit with 8.5 in wide rims and 5in of backspacing. with this setup, i have slight rubbing every once in a while on my fender flairs.

i didnt do any cutting, the fender flares fit with no modification. with my wheel and tire combination i should do a trimming on them however. probably an inch or so of plastic.

So if you would not have put the flares on you would be totally clear? Have you had your truck off road? If yes, did the tires rub? I really like your setup and just don't want to regret it if that is the way I go.

i do not think it would rub without the flares but i cant promise as i put the flares on first then the 35s. i have done some off roading with the truck and was very surprised that it never rubbed.

there is one part in the steering radius (on the left and right) where there is a rubbing issue in reverse and every great once in a while going forward if the steering wheel is turned just right and i hit a bump. i also found that if i take some air out of the tires it doesnt hit anymore...thats how close were talking

the rubbing sounds really bad, but i had my girlfriend drive in reverse as i checked clearance and it sounds way worse than it is. the lugs on the side of the tire just barely clip some plastic and it sounds like a loud version of playing cards in bicycle spokes. there is no chance of damage and i think minor trimming would correct it, its just too freaking cold outside to fix it.

if it running this setup scares you, i would recommend getting a narrower wheel or one with more backspacing. a half inch in either case should be plenty.

i hope this helps, and if you need a better explanation, pm me and i can give you my cell number.

WorkShop made leveling kit, 2.5'' I believe
Added 1'' to the rear.
35'' Toyo MT
20'' machined gun metal sacchi wheels
The Leer tonneau lowers the rear like a 1cm I think, is kind of heavy.
