They make a 325/60r20/D which measure out to be a 35.6 " tire. Just FYI. Check it out:

I figured they were about the same as the old ones as far as road noise. Yes, you can feel the lugs when slowing to a stop and while first accelerating. Thanks for the comment, you truck looks great too

Any other mods I should know of? Maybe some clearance pics? A pic with the CV angle would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Again, awesome new tires!
I have had no rubbing issues at all with the 35's, even while off-roading and I had to make a pretty sharp turn-around with the wheel cranked a number of times. Also, I've done no trimming. The only mods done are a 2 1/2" AS in the front and a 3" AS block in the rear, I also have Bilstein 5100's but they didn't raise the truck any just improved the ride. You can fit them however with just a 2" leveling kit in the front. Now with all that said they don't rub in my truck you may have a slight rub in yours but once again key word slight, minor, and/or not much of a concern. If you really want the muds I would just go for them otherwise you'll end up regreting whatever else you get. Here are a few pictures of the CV angle's and clearance, if you need any more help let me know. Thanks for the comment

07fx4Silver: Those pics really shed some light on the issue. Pretty sure I will be getting the 35" tires. Like you said, I don't want to buy the 33" and then be dissapointed and stuck with em. Better to go bigger. Only concerned about the upper control arm angle (looks like a lot) but it is something I am more than willing to deal with. Thanks again.

Thanks I apreciate it, but those almost make me jealous, because they came out with those like a week after I got mine, But I got mine for a great deal because they did a ride claim for me and refunded me 100% of what I paid for the 305/65/18 BFG At's if I put that towards some 35 Muds, so I did but the claim only lasts a month so I waited til the last week and then those came out the week after, but still love mine. Good thing is I will be able to see what kind of mileage that you will get out of them, so maybe for my next set. Also I saw the pictures of you off road any rubbing issues at when you were riding the trails.

I do 90% street driving so I am a little scared to buy the km2 do to it being a mud tire

No rubbing issues while off-road or anytime for that matter. KM 1's still look great and so does your truck so I wouldn't feel too bad and if you enjoy the KM 1's I'm sure you'll love the KM 2's if you get them for your next set.

07screw & wookie13

Most of my driving is done on the street as well. I think most of the members on here that run mud terrains do most of there driving on the street but want them for the looks and the every now & then off-road trip in which the muds will give better performance over an A/T. I honestly feel I've lost no drivability, you can't really feel the lugs unless you're coming to a stop or speeding up from a stop (about 5 mph or slower) besides you're going want to feel them and I know that if I bought A/T I'd be thinking about a M/T but I never think about A/T except when I'm thinking how happy I am that I didn't go with an A/T. Friends that have rode in my truck with them have commented on how quiet they are. If you're thinking about getting M/T and really want them don't be afraid and just go for it otherwise I bet you'll be kicking yourself that you didn't. Within the week or so I've owned them I've driven on dry pavement, in the rain and off road in soft dift and on rocks and they've performed flawlessly. I love these tires more every time I drive on them. In ending if you want them (or even think you do) go for it and don't look back
