35" Tires will they clear with a leveling kit

[Yo Hoot]

You can get Toyo Open Country M/T 35/12. 5/17 for about $315 each before shipping. PM me and I'll direct you. I have a set coming tommorrow. Had no problem finding them and I'm on the east coast.

They told me they could get them from another store and it shouldn't be a problem. They quoted me almost that exact price.



Are you going to mount those on stock wheels?

 

[CJPerry]

I am running 37s on stock wheels with no lift. My truck has the snow plow package so it sits a little higher. The tires rub on the control arms at full lock but they have never hit sheetmetal. The middle of my tires wear a little bit faster than the outside but it is not enough to affect mileage since I replace tires before they wear down enough to become a liability. Maybe 2/32 difference from center to the edge on my last set.

What do 315/70s come out to ? 35 or 37 ?

 

[Bob V]

To figure tire in inches the formula is...



Width= size/25. 4 315/25. 4 = 12. 4





Height=2X width X aspect ratio / 25. 4 + rim size.





2 X 315 X . 70 / 25. 4 + 17 = 34. 36 If for a 17" rim

Just installed Toyo Open Country M/T 35/12. 5/17's today. All I have is the Kore leveling suspension which is about a 2"+ front lift. Tires look awesome.



I'll take some pics tommorrow.

Pics would be great, I think I am going to go with the same tires or maybe the Dean M/T SXT with the D25 springs.

Truck looks great Bob. That is the color I wanted and could not get. I will probably be putting tires on in the next month or so. I need to order the D25's and get them installed, then decide on a tire. I may try a set of the tires you have, I would like to save a little money. I just don't like overloading them. This year hauling hay I had 6300 lbs on my back axle coming home from redmond. My poor pro comps were really overloaded, and gave me a real uneasy feeling all the way home. I believe you mentioned earlier you had a fifth wheel do you know how heavy it is.

Yo HOOT or anyone that can help... .



I have a 2006 MC and heard about the weak stock springs... will upgrading to Bilstein shocks and plow package front springs bump the front an inch over stock??? thanks-BJ

 

[Hercules130]

I just installed a buckstop on the front and my front despertly needs to be raised. I was thinking about revtek 2 inch spacers, but that will only get me back to stock height. Will it be worth it to upgrade to the plow spring, or will i not see much off a difference?



Also if i do spacers do i need longer shocks?



Could i do leveling spacers and leveling springs to truly get me the level look with the buckstop?

 

[JCasper]

Finally Done

So I finally got it done. Monday night I put in the D25's and Bilstein shocks. Tuesday I got the tires installed. There is just some rubbing on the control arms, other then that they fit good.
