This is a great thread!! All these rigs look outstanding w/ 33's or 35's!!! It good to know that you stock wheel runners on 35's are able to function without wheel spacers.
Have yall tried your flex range while sway bar disconnected to see if there are any added clearance issues?
Are any of you that are running 35's have a 6spd manual? How do you like it vs. stock tire size?
There's been alot of talk about how spread the gear ratios are in the 6spd.. 1st is short, 2nd to 3rd is wide, 4th is seemingly the common highway gear @ 60-65 to avoid constant downshifting and 5th/6th basically 2 overdrives with nearly the same final output ratio, rarely being needed unless your on flatland with a tailwind and/or driving 85+. Thanks!
I wouldn't go as far as saying you don't NEED wheel spacers with stock wheels, but it could be a good idea. I quickly found that at full-lock I rub the sway bar and control arms. I'm use to it now and have adjusted my habits, but I might at a 1.75" spacer so I don't have to worry about it.

I plan to go stock black polished and 315/70R17 or 35x12.50R17 and was considering the 1.75" spacer or upgrading to the Quadratec HardRock in the black which are almost identical but are 8.5" wide and slight offset difference from stock. Thanks for the reply!

With 35's you will be into the fender liner disconnected and flexed. Street use is fine - over curbs rural parking lots (Grass lots) etc.

Thats a good looking stocker rig! Do you have any suspension upgrades? are you rubbing when flexing and turning? are you running wheel spacers?

My daily driver so I won't be adding a lift at this time. Parking deck at work is somewhat low. No rubbing but I don't rock climb. Mostly back road trails and mud.

Like the stance on this truck. What brand of spacers or pucks did you use?
Teraflex 1.5" Leveling Kit in the front (only used the 1" spacer), and Daystar 3/4" spacer in the rear. May add the Teraflex 1/2" spacer up front in the future if I add a winch.

Just installed tires yesterday, all stock suspension and no other modifications. The tires ride awesome and my wife loves the new look
