Do a search, there is at least one member on here with that setup on a white Screw. I don't know if he has any rubbing, but it looks great. My guess is you would get a little rubbing at full crank (like with any 35's on that setup).

Yes, they will fit. You may have some minor rubbing but nothing to worry about.

Not to condradict the mostly all-knowing Wandell, but these tires will not fit up front in your truck unless you have that wheel spacer that one thread link mentions. I had these tires installed on my 2.5" leveled 05 FX4 18" rims and the side lugs were in full contact with the upper A-arms. Just my 2 cents.

Was it the side lugs that were rubbing? Was it rubbing while turning? I've seen some members post pics showing where 35x12.50's rubbed the upper control arms slightly at full steering lock, so I can see a tire with aggressive side lugs rubbing even worse.

You can probably get by in town on the pavement with the 35's, but doing any serious offroading they will hit worse. I had problem's with my 35" AT's hitting going offroad but they were on aftermarket wheels.

I have them mounted on stock rims (in the above link). The sidelugs do rub but will wear down a little bit after a while. I have 1/4" wheel spacers on the front with the stock rims and now there is rubbing only at full lock.

Stock rims? I don't believe u will rub at all even with aftermarket rims. Are you getting your MG's in Jackson or off the internet? Best deal I found is around $1000 for 4 new 35's.

Yeah, you will still have the minor rubbing on the control arms if you use the OEM wheels. If you use a wider aftermarket wheel you will have rubbing on the fenders and front valance more than likely with only 3 inches of lift.

That's weird because a man at the suspension shop said a 3" suspension will clear 35's on the new body style.
And, djh1121, where did you find those grapplers for that price?!?!
