Also im not sure if anyone makes a 35/12.5/18
Closest thing I know of for a 18" wheel is a 325/65/18 which is roughly 34.9" tall with and 13" wide.

6 inches of lift, 2 or 4 wheel drive. You could also do 4" suspension lift and a 2-3 body lift. I think body lifts are ugly but they are cheap!!

I can tell you if you are 4wd a 4 in suspension lift if plenty for a 35. I have factory keys cranked and a 3 inch block in the back(1 inch lift) and run 34's that are 13 inches wide with zero issues. Also if your 4wd, a small bodylift would do the trick.

you may even be able to get away with a 2" lift and hacking on the front bumper. Rears should fit no problem with 2"+ lift

I had a 3" body lift and some bushwacker cutout fender flares on my 03 z71...it fit 35x12.5's with no rubbing at all. Although, for the price of the body lift, those flares and all the labor, i would just go with a 6" suspension. you dont NEED to, but its the route that will look the best in the end.

3 inch body lift if its a 99-06 4x4 will fit a 315/70 which is equvilent to a 35x12.50. And i believe its mickey thompson that a buddy of mine has on his truck that is a 35x12.50

My brothers truck. 3" body lift and 315/70s

3'' Body Lift
-285/75/16 (33's) on stock wheels or up to 8'' wide with slight T-bar crank

4'' Suspension Lift
-285/75/16 (33's) on stock wheels or up to 8'' wide

6'' Suspension Lift
-315/75/16 (35's) up to wheels 8'' wide
