Can I run 35 inch wheels on a 2wd with 3 inch body lift?

Probably not. I would look into a 4" Rancho lift or any of the 6" lifts. You can run 33's, but 35's? I don't think so on a 2WD.

That is confusing.... I know my 2wd sits an inch lower than a 4wd but I saw on another thread that someone is running 35's on his 4wd with only a leveling kit. Am I missing something??

If you have a 4x2 and plan to use aftermarket/non stock wheels, don't even think about 35s. you would need either a 4" or a 6" lift for that.

even with just 33's, be aware of the backspacing and offset, you could still get some major rubbing, especially with any type of M/T tire since they have larger huge side lugs.

I do have a 2wd and aftermarket 20's with 6.25 BS. When I get new tires I will check to see if I can run any mud tires or I may stick with the Nittos I have now. They are good tires but I was just thinking of switching it up to a more aggressive look.

If you combine a 3 inch body lift and a 2.5 inch leveling kit you may be able to fit 35x12.50's using the oem wheels. Personally, I'd stick with 33's. Also, your truck sits about 2 inches lower than a stock 4x4.

I will check on 33's Muds this next time around. I guess when I was measuring the trucks 4 x 4 vs 4 x 2 it must have been uneven ground or I was using math for women!

I agree, I dont think you would clear them. I have just the 2" level and the body lift running 35's on my fx4 with no rubbing. 33's would probably be your best bet.

You could fit 35's...if you don't plan on turning! you would get alotta rubbing! I have a truxxx 3'' kit and a 3''BL and am running 33''s no problem, I'm sure 35'' would fit in niceley. I'm just waitin' on the $$$



I'll get new pics up soon from the side

You can fit 35" tires on your 2wd with a 2 1/2" leveling kit. I have that set up with Procomp Xtreme A/T's. It barely rubs at full lock, it looks sweet though. I will try and post a pic soon.
