Bear in mind that "fit" and "fit serviceably" would be two terms I, personally would use. Just because they "fit" does not mean they would be a good choice. If you are looking to clear 35's for the look and maybe for some VERY mild off-roading, 35's would fit with just a level kit. Would you have the flex room necessary for carrying a load or some fairly rough play off-road? In my experience off the beaten path - NO WAY! Again, it's subjective and you would need to look at YOUR needs and ask specific questions...

 

based on this, i will go with a 33 then and a leveling kit. will i still need spacers? also, a 33 would be a 305/70/17 right?

 

No, you should not need the spacers at all, especially on an '04 torsion bar front. In plain measurements those tires would actually be 33.8"x12" and IMO would not only give a good "full" look in a leveled truck's tirewell, but also provide for a good bit of flex if you play a little rough with it. I think it'd be an excellent choice with just a level kit...

 

so anyone have any backspaced rims they wanna sell me so i can get bigger treads?????
my 285/70r17's were cool at first but they seem to look smaller and smaller everyday.

 

ditto!

 

It's a way of life kid, I've said many times "So what if it's IFS? I'd NEVER want to go bigger than 35's anyway."
Now there are days that I look at my truck and think about how a 3" body lift added to my 4" suspension lift and 37 or 38's would be KILLER!!!

 

thats because it would look killer and thats why you should just do it hammer.

 

Donations gladly accepted!!!

 

Nick what are you talking I said they CANT FIT 12.5's will rub on the control arm all the time with our 1/4 spacers.

 

You know what would even be a better look? 09 2500 QCSB CTD 4x4 with a 6'' lift and 37x13.5x17 DC FCII's on it. Do a SCT tuner with a DPF delete, 5'' exhaust so your EGT's don't go through the roof, larger intercooler, new CAI, 4.56's with D-Locker in the back + Tru-trac in the front, tool box, bed lined, light bar with 4KC hi-lighters, air horn, brush guard, cab lights, and hella lights behind the grill. That would be what I would like. Only one problem. I don't have 65k laying around anywhere.
