35 with just a leveling kit will be tight. 33 will work just fine. Why are you removing the 5 inch suspension lift? Most people are installing this setup.

Here's mine with 33-ish tires.
These are Nitto Terra Grapplers 325/60-18
They are about 33" diameter and they rub just a little on the fender.

I definitely would not go bigger. I like them the way they are, but I'm even thinking that when I get new ones to go a little smaller . . .





And don't think that I don't like big tires . . .


I just feel like something that is mostly driven on the street just plain works better without the hugeness.

I just remembered about a friend who put 35's on his superduty and regretted it later . . .

Take care,
Phill

What's up with the golf cart dude. We're talkin BIG tires. Those 33's are very wide. Goodyear Wrangler 305/70R17 looks nice and don't rub with the right backspacing on your rims.

Those are 32.8 inches tall. Should work fine and look good. Very aggressive lugs.

I'm running 315s on a stock wheel AND suspension with no issues. I get the tires rubbing on the control arms at full lock. My set-up is fine for a truck that spends most its time on the paved roads.

Depends on what gear ratio you have. If you have 4.10s I would stick with 35s. If you have 3.55s like I do 33s are a better choice. I am currently rinning 315/75/16s, seriously considering going to a 285/75/16 for my next set.

Exactly!

I love the looks of the 35's, but with 3.55......no way.
