I would like to know can I run 35 inch tires on my stock rims with just a leveling kit?
If anyone has some pics that would be great thanks.

yes u can, they might rub ur front mudflaps if u have them alittle, and maybe at full turn in the front, but plenty of people run them with just a 2" level kit with no problems.

Box5 thanks I thought I would be ok.
Pics anyone?

not my truck, but I love this truck. He's got 315/75/16 i think which are basically 35's.

Yes, no problems, no rubbing. I have 35 x 12.5 procomps on my 07 QC 5.9 and they don't rub at all with the 2 inch up front on the stock rims. I ended up putting a 2 inch in the back too just to make the space between the fenders match again but no problems and it gave the truck a lot nicer stance. I'll give you some pictures of my truck with the 35's and one back when I bought it with those garbage rugged trails they put on it stock. The difference is incredible. If you want more pictures of the truck or of the level kit & blocks or front end with the tires cranked over, give a shout back.

I just noticed your truck is an 02, but I went out and measured my buddys truck and the clearances are near identicle, so you should still have no problems, enjoy the pics anyways, haha

lol ^, yea i was gonna say for a heads up cus i think the 2nd gens have a chance of rubbing at full turn with 35's and u can see on the black truck how the fronts would rub the mudflaps if u have them.

Yeah i agree with that but mudflaps aren't enough to hurt your tires so it should still be ok

i'd take mine off, but i got a ticket once for no mudflaps on another truck i owned, lol. Talk about cops having nothing to do.

Oh i know what you mean i get pulled constantly for not having little things like mudflaps, so i put on some cheap ones, my tires are less than an inch out of my fenders and i got pulled over for not having fender flares, i guess thats a law up here in BC, cops are seriously way too picky, i live in the middle of nowhere in a little oilfield town, there are probly 15 trucks for every car in town. That black truck is really nice though, does he ever take it in the mud or is it more of a city driver?

I don't have pics, but mine never rubbed, even off road doing full articulation at full crank. That said, two months ago I bought a new track bar from auto zone and after that install, my driverside tire will barely rub at full left turn lock. The lugs just barley hit the control arm. No damage to tires or control arm, just enough to make a noise when I parallel park. That said, i'm going with 285's this time, 315's on stock steel rims wear out too fast since you can't put more than 30psi in them before the center buldges up and wears out. I want skinnier tread that I can run at 60 psi or so and restore some of my lost mileage. My very best with these buckshot mudders was 20.1 mpg on an 800 mile road trip, all interstate with cruise set at a slow 65 mph... about 1800 rpm. With my old michelin never wear out but sucky traction tires, I got 24.2 mpg on the same trip, cruise set at 61-65 ish mph but turning 2000 rpm or so.

Big blue you bring up a good point I will have to think about that.
