35's or 33's?
 
Im about to buy my leveling kit right now! I was wondering whaty everyone thinks. Should I got with a 33 or a 35? Will I have any problems with either? Im not worried about MPG, but i dont want nasty rubbing. I want a aggresive looking truck with a little height to it. Occasional offroad! Thx!

go with the 35's for sure!!!

35's will look really good on stock wheels. gas mileage won't be the greatest but won't be terrible or anything. if you do offroading 33's might be better just to give you some more room to flex. its all up to what style your going for and what kind of offroading you do.

35's all the way; to get rid of the rubbing, just pick up some 1/4" wheel spacers for the front and you will be gravy. as far as off roading goes; you will prolly be fine as long as your not climbing or flexing to much. with the 33's you will save a lil gas but the 35's are way worth it.

I'd go with 33's.

leveled with 33s and aftermarket wheels would look great! 35s on factory wheels leveled look great as well!

Don't forget about 34's, may be a good comprimise.

33"s. 35s looks entirely too big for a leveled only truck, and the gas mileage suffer isn't worth it.

Sweet guys, I really appreciate all the support and help. Hopefully I can help some of you guys. I will post all pics, before and after level, and tires. I wont be able to get tires on till around Feb 1st.

34's? I personally haven't seen any 34's? I'm definitly interested as I am going to put 33's on but want 35's but don't want the power loss. I talked to Bill at PHP and he said the step up to 35's really reduces the power and MPG. But I would compromise for 34's!

A 305x70x17 or a 305x65x18 are closer to a 34 inch tire. These may be a better compromise. My 33" spare set look lost in the wheelwells on my truck. A 34 inch may look the best on a leveled 4x4. Just my 2 cent's.
