I BM considering this too....I will only do it if I can run 35s with level only...no spacess for me. I am not a fan or sticking my tires out, I feel like it puts that much more stress on the suspension/truck. level and 35s are already enough. Just my 2 cents.

so has anybody had problems with a level, 35 and spacers? Maybe I am just being too cautious! I really like the factory rims/w aggressive 35's on them! guess I am looking at spacers and flares to add to the list of things to get along with 35's and level kit!

Matt99: did you happen to do the body lift on your own or did you have a shop do it?

Asking if 35's will fit on stock 20's is the wrong question to ask and it seems guys are getting confused. The stock 20's are 9" wide and will accept up to a 12.5" wide tire. Height doesn't even play a factor. What plays a factor is the width on stock 20's when NO wheel spacers are used. For example, i have stock 275's which are 10.8" wide and my tires have about 1/4" clearance before rubbing the upper control arm BJ. That means if I went to a tire that was 1/2" wider, half that width(1/4") will stick outside and half that will stick inside which will cause rubbing, therefore wheel spacers are going to be needed if you plan to run anything wider than 11" even if it's 33" in height.
