^ exactly, the size written on the side doesn't matter at all. i've had a set of 44in. ground hawgs that measured smaller than my 41in. iroks.

according to your tires manufacturer specs its only 34.8ins tall. mount that on a 10in. wide wheel and you're dealing with around a 34in. or smaller tire. the wider the wheel the smaller the tire size will be.

oh and that's no aggresive sidewall.
my side lugs stick out about 3/4in.

Truck looks good man.

My tires are 35x12.50x17 trail grapplers mounted on 17x10 wheels and they measure just a hair past 34.5'' and I had to do some trimming to turn lock to lock and be rough without it rubbing but I have fender flares also which wrap around the bottom also.

Sweet. :thumbsup: Where did you get the Federals from?

Duh? Really? We all know that....but the fact is someone with 33's will say 33's and so on. This ain't my first rodeo. I know what actual sizes are. Don't make me pull up all the stupid threads over here that say IT CANNOT BE DONE and all the morons that think they have to have a 6" lift to run them.:lol:

Good god dude do you really think I don't know this? The fact is most people don't want 44" tires on a half ton btw:coffee:

So again I will say that 2.5 level kit and 35's will work (trimming will very) and no Major hacking will be involved like you have read here in the past:wave:

If you do an AAL like i did on mine. just make sure its the long leaf. harder to install, but it improved my ride on my 06 lariat. just my opinion. and you wont sag anymorehen you put stuff in your bed as bad.

So testy boys......Somone has to rain on your parade!!! Like you said each truck is a little different. Each leveling kit gives a little different result. with the right wheel tire setup you can get er done. I believe one fella is running 37's with a leveling kit on his stock wheels!. Not sure if he can turn, but he says he can. So there you go. Nice job anyway....SOOOO wheres the muddin pics? No point in getting mudders and having a clean truck is there? :)

Did your long leaf AAL raise the rear any or did it just make the leaves stiffer? I have a feeling that mine is going to look like it's taking a dump when I try to load my ATV into the bed. :lol:

well when you post a picture of the sidewall showing the size, kinda gives away that you thought it was a true 35

If you look at my pics of my truck you can see im saggy in the rear. I also had a 3" leveling kit on it with stock blocks. so instead of doing a different block I decided to do the Procomp AAL. After i did it the truck had a little rake back to it, but to me it was just right....maybe 3/4 of an inch. All i know is it rode better and F_ast said the same thing when he did his also. I pulled our work trailer which is a 14' enclosed loaded to the gills a few times. I almost think it squated me less then my bosses superduty. His diesel could pull it tons better though!!!! If i put an ATV in the back of it, which i never had, i bet it would sit about level then.

it wasnt a stiff ride with the long leaf. but it just didnt seem like the rearend floated around....if that makes any sense at all?!!?

Thanks....I got them from nitewolf over on my site....they only had 4,000 miles on them and he went up to 37" Mud Grapps so I snatched these up. They are like new :beers:
