Truck looks great!
With the 35's, are you still runnig stock gears? 3.55 or 3.73? Do you tow with it?
Sorry for all the questions, but I ran across a great deal on some 35" BFG AT's and was wondering if I would need to change gears. I have the 3.55's and my 33's do fine.

Stock 3.73's with LS out back. There really wasn't much weight difference between the factory 20's and tires and the FX4 18's and 35's I have now. I primarily tow my enclosed sled trailer in the winter and the occasional boat here and there, and so far, the truck doesn't feel like it lost any power. The stock 20's are very heavy and I think if you simply added larger tires to stock 17's or 18's, you would notice more of a feeling of power loss. But, because I went from heavy *** 20's with lighter tires to lighter rims with heavy *** tires, it all evened out and I haven't really noticed any power loss. So, if you went up to 35's, you might feel it in the power department, but it would probably look great - so I say go for it! Also, I have had many sets of BFG's, both AT's and MT's, the AT's are tried and true and are my AT choice in tire. However, these newer KM2's are much quieter on the road than the older style KM's, and after seeing pics of trucks on here with them, mind was made up!
