Leveling kit with 35's?
I was considering buying either 20's with 33's or 35's. I have a 2 inch leveling kit in the front. I know that 33's will fit but will the 35's?

not sure but they should. it also depends on your rim backspacing. if the 35's do fit they might rub a lil bit. but then again the new trucks like yours have more fender clearance than mine.

I have a classic HD which has the most clearance out of any of the body styles and I had to trim a lot of plastics and and some sheetmetal back by the door jam to not rub anymore. The ONLY way they will come close to fitting is to run the narrowest wheel you can and 5.5"BS.

And they will still rub on his truck.
It's just that the newer trucks have much smaller fender openings than the last body style. Which doesn't make any sense, seeing as how they have much larger design features.
Your best bet would be to run a 275/60/20 sized tire with close to stock backspacing. You still mat have to trim, but it will be minimal at most. If you want to step up to 35's, I'd just save some pennies and buy a 3" body lift and a set of 4.56's to make up for the larger heavier tires.

Thanks guys. I'm just going with 33's. No sense in paying money for something that "might" have a chance to fit or even no chance at all. I appreciate the replies.
