    With 2" spacer, you're going to rub like crazy when you try to turn. You're truck will have the turning radius of a school bus.

    Not hating, just trying to help you out.

    You'll have to cut off a bunch of your truck to run 35s. The simplest thing to do is stick with stock wheels and 265/75/16 or 265/70/17 if you don't want to lift. Simple 2-3" lift, use stock wheels and 255/85/16 or 255/80/17 tires.

    Of course, if you aren't afraid of chopping your fenders, hammering the pinch weld and resealing the wheel wells, and chopping the cab mount - I say go for 35s!

    I chose the 255 route with a 3" lift - and my CV boots are eating themselves. I already had to replace one axle.
