2500's come stock with 365/70/17's, which is basically a 31" tire. While 35's will be extremely tight on a stock truck, I have heard of many guys doing it (on other forums).

Not to send you running from this forum or anything (as it is a great one that I personally frequent the most), but cumminsforum .com has a thread under their suspension section which is titled something like "stock suspension, big meats". There are tons of pics of guys dong just that, some which even run 37's stock.

And welcome to DF!

Oh yeah, and if you happen to have the Power Wagon model, than your truck came with a few inches of lift from the factory and 285's (BFG AT's), along with 4.56 gears to spin 'em. The Wagons easily clear 35's.

I have 315/70R17s on my stock 07 Megacab. They rub the lower suspension link at full lock turning with stock wheels. I don't offroad that much so I don't know if they will rub any there. Just space the rims out a little or get different rims to move them away from the control arms.
