umm what sig? I dont see a picture. Anyways, you need at least a 2" leveling kit to fit 35"s....from what i believe...I am getting the Rough Country 3" Suspension lift for my truck, and I may eventually upgrade to 35"s but my 33" A/T tires are practically brand new...

Thanks oe.I do not want to put a 6" lift on. so it looks like the 2" leveling kit and 33's are the way I am going to go. Accualy, the tire I have picked out for right now is the 285/70/17 KUMHO A/T.
They are $118.00 ea at tirerack.com I think that is reasonable, and they havereally good review reports too.

285/70/17 are 32.71"

305/70/17 are 33.81"

A 295/70/17 will get you 33.26"

Those numbers are from a tire size calculator/converter so you can trust it if you want, Im not sure how tall metric sizes are. I have 275/70/17 on my stock 2wd with no rubbing, so I imagine you could go with a 295 with the 3" lift.

I do not have a lift on my truck and have 35x12.50 pro comp all terrains. I have not had a problem with rubbing. I do however have a leveling kit on the front end. Also I did not lose any power from my V6 by adding the heavier tires.
