Default 2500 w/ stock suspension on 35's

Is anyone running this? I suppose a leveler kit would help, although the 2500s have a little bit more lift. I can get a deal on some 20" wheels with 35x12.5x20s. Any pictures of this set up out there? Thanks in advance!

Matt

i have a 2500 with a 2" leveling kit... and i was running 35x12.5 and i liked it... except i had to take my front mud flaps off because the tires rubbed them and the rubbed the cab a little bit if i was turning sharp and the suspension was flexed a little... but you also have to concider that my truck is a 96 and there is a possibility of the springs in the front sagging a little bit over the years... i have a picture somewhere if you would like one

ive got a stock 1500 with 35's and have a little rubbing on the control arms, i wouldnt think a 2500 would need any lift.

I'm currently looking do the same... I know they will clear. I'm more worried about the gearing of the truck. Did you guys stay stock w/ gears, how did it feel? I don't do any heavy towing, only about 2,000lbs trailer once in a while.
I just don't want the truck to be a dog driving around town...

hi guys i'm running 34's 10.50 16 and they require 3.90 gear and i'm using 4.10 35's require 4.10 or 4.11 and keep your power the same as is now or bump up to 4.27 and get that extra torque hope this helps you out .

Found mine. There's a stick inside the glove box. Guess it's a build sheet. Anyway, mine says I'm geared @ 4.10. Thats good enough for me, i'm ordering 315/75/r16 Maxxis BigHorns today.

How bout those pics guys, someone's gotta have this set-up already.
