Need some pics of lifted 3rd gens
Hey I just got my a new 05 qaud cab long bed 4x4. I'm looking to either put a 2.5 leveling kit or maybe a small lift kit. I want to run 35 "/315 BF goodrich mudterrains on either 17 or 18" wheels. I need some pics of what the truck would look like so if anyone has pics please post them and what type of tire/wheels you have and how much lift

Both are nice looking trucks! bchesley are you getting many rock chips on your truck without mud flaps or fender flares. Just wondering becuase my stock tires get rocks stuck in them constanly. My 35" BFG M/t's on my old truck kicked up less rocks then the stock ones I have now. Keep the pictures coming I would still like to see what wheel/tire and lift combos look the best.

The tires don't touch the fenders at all. They do rub the radius arms slightly, but KORE is working on some replacement ones that should clear. Also, I have some fiberglass fender replacements I just picked up today from the paint shop going on the front as soon as I can get them on.
Here's what they look like.
Mileage didn't drop too much. I ran the 37 GY MTRs(out), for 16K before these. For where I am for power, the mileage is not bad IMO.

so will 35x12.5x17 on an aftermarket 17x10 or 9 wheel not sure what they come in, fit with just leveling springs. I know on the 2nd gens I dont like 35's with a 4.5" lift kit I think it makes the tires look to small. Thats why I'm having trouble deciding on what to do with my new truck.

I do not beleive that it will work. An 8 inch wide wheel should work. If you go with a 10 inch wheel and a leveling kit, and 35s you need tyo go up to a 18inch wheel to get enought backspacing. Most 17 x 10s with enough backspacing will hit the brake calipers. A 17x8 with 4.5 inch backspacing should work. Correct me if im wrong

A 17x9 with 5 inch backspacing and 315's will rub with a leveling kit (2-3inch lift) I ran Eagle Alloy 101's - 17x9 with BFG 315's for about 10K miles before getting through the GY 37MTR's to the Toyos.
I think I have tried just about every tire wheel combo on this truck.
Now the Weld's from KORE(or through DRC) are 18's and you can run 35x12.5x18's with no clearance issues.
There are a few people running this combo lurking around. Lightman, where are you to chime in, you just got yours, how about a snowy picture.

4" Superlift, 315 bfg hummer take offs, Eagle 101 wheels 17"x9" 4-5/8" back space.
I love it, handles, and drives better than stock, didn't loose any fuel mileage, had speedo reprogramed, and hand calculate mileage at 16.2, highway driving at 80 mph.
