I have a 2006 4X2 Supercrew with the Autospring 2.5" level kit. I know that I can accomodate P285/70R17s (which is 32.8") on the stock wheels.

My questions are: what is the minimum amount of lift I'd need to accomodate 35" tires on the stock wheels, and what is the best and least expensive way to achieve this lift?

 

I would bet with a body lift you could fit those.

Otherwise I think 6" is the smallest you are gonna be able to get away with.


I have 6" on an 01 and fir 35's fine.

 

with a 6 inch suspension lift you should be able to fit 35s fine

 

A member here recently posted pics of his 4x2 that he was able to fit 35's on by using a leveling kit and the OEM wheels. If I was you, I'd add a 3 inch Performance Accessories body lift.

 

I would like to know how everybody is fitting these larger than life tires and supposedly not have any rubbing issues. I just installed a 6" lift on my 4x4 and put 35's on and they still rub without even flexing, just as 33's did when I had a leveling kit on

 

body lift!!! it would look nice with a little more of a gap then just stuffing them in there under 2.5" leveling kit even if it does work...IMO....

 

i ran 35's on 17x9 wheels with 4.5"s of backspace with just a 6" pro comp stage 1 lift. no rubbing whatsoever either. I just added a 3" pa body lift and need some 36's or 37's to make up for the tires looking too small. this is on a 2wd.

 

Hey NWAF-150 the reason you were rubbing is the width and backspacing of your wheel, he's trying this on factory wheels...

So dot dot, my opinion is to try bolting up someone elses wheel/tire you like and see how it fits and go from there, every truck sits different...

I bolted up a 275/70R18 today on my truck without any lift and it barely rubbed in the back side of the front wheel...

And that tire measures 33.15 inches in height...

 

According to a few tire sites I have seen a 6" lift is suggested for 2WD trucks wanting to add 35's. That's what I did with mine and absolutely love it. The other thing is you are wanting to keep your stock wheels. I'm no tire expert (Wendel this is where you come in ) but I think you'd be pushing the limits on tire width and what your stock wheel can handle.

 

Rubbing issues were a concern of mine prior to buying my tires. I originally wanted Nitto Terra Grapplers, but ended up going with the Pro Comps instead so that I could get them in a 12.50" size.

 

According to every lift I have seen I should have no rubbing with wheels with 4.5" of backspacing which is what i have.... So who knows

 

Check my gallery for more pics but my sig has a picture of my truck with BFG 35x12.5x18's on it. We put them on just to see if they would fit and how much rubbing there would be. They fit fine but there was rubbing at full lock. My guess if you had the right backspacing/offset you could run 35's without rubbing for most city driving.

 

Zig
Can we get some pic`s of your wheels at full lock ?

 

If You Want To Keep A Low Stance On Your Truck And Even Be Able To Run 37's Look For A Long Travel Kit Such As NCD. Might Be More Than A Conventional Kit But Its Well Worth It... and as for 35 they fit with a completly stock rear suspension... but a 6 inch should be able to get you what you need

 

I don't have them on the truck. They were put on as a test to see how they would fit on a 2WD truck with the leveling kit. They belong to "dracof150" and I believe they are on his truck now and he may be able to get you the picture you need.
