35 with just a leveling kit will be tight. 33 will work just fine. Why are you removing the 5 inch suspension lift? Most people are installing this setup.

Here's mine with 33-ish tires.
These are Nitto Terra Grapplers 325/60-18
They are about 33" diameter and they rub just a little on the fender.
I definitely would not go bigger. I like them the way they are, but I'm even thinking that when I get new ones to go a little smaller . . .
And don't think that I don't like big tires . . .
I just feel like something that is mostly driven on the street just plain works better without the hugeness.
I just remembered about a friend who put 35's on his superduty and regretted it later . . .
Take care,
Phill

What's up with the golf cart dude. We're talkin BIG tires. Those 33's are very wide. Goodyear Wrangler 305/70R17 looks nice and don't rub with the right backspacing on your rims.

I'm running 315s on a stock wheel AND suspension with no issues. I get the tires rubbing on the control arms at full lock. My set-up is fine for a truck that spends most its time on the paved roads.

Depends on what gear ratio you have. If you have 4.10s I would stick with 35s. If you have 3.55s like I do 33s are a better choice. I am currently rinning 315/75/16s, seriously considering going to a 285/75/16 for my next set.

I love the looks of the 35's, but with 3.55......no way.
