35's on a 2011 XLT
 
I want to know if there is anyone out there that fit a set of 35's with only a 2" leveling kit on an 09 or newer? If so, stock wheels? What tire?

Yes, hundreds and hundreds of members have done this on 04-11 4x4's. Just use the OEM wheels or an 8 inch wide aftermarket wheel with 5.5 inches of BS. The only problem is using the OEM 20's. They have so much backspacing that most 35x12.50's will rub the upper control arm/ball joint. The way around this is to use a narrower 35 like a 285/65-20 (35x11.50).

Alright thanks. I have an 08 right now with a 2.5" leveling kit, I bought a set of 315/70/17's and they rubbed the upper control arm. I had to go with 285's, which are basically 33's...

Yeah, most 35x12.50's will rub the control arms slightly at full steering lock.
