35s on a stock 2500hd with stock wheels?
I have a 1500 but it's a Mega Cab which is a 2500. For a while I had 35's on my stock 17's with no lift. They only rubbed at full turn going into a driveway. Later on a put on a leveling kit and replaced all the rims. No rubbing anymore. They leveling kit only cost me $80 and about 2.5 hours of work in the driveway.
i got 4.10s for gears, so i'm not to worried about the acceleration much..... i'm sure i'll lose a few mpgs around town, but i should gain a little on the highway...... road noise doesn't bother me much...... on my dakota between the mud tires, and the exhaust i had to have the radio just about all the way up to hear it, and we just about had to yell to have a conversation, lol...... it had a complete exhaust, was just really loud for duels on a v-6..... i checked it twice for leaks, found none, but boy was it loud....... this super 44 on my 2500 still sounds quiet compared to the dakota, lol.
