I would say yes. Leveling kits are very reasonably priced for our trucks and for good movement with no rubbing or any issues, before you put 35's on just put the extra 150 or 200 into a leveling kit. Plus it just looks a hell of a lot better. I do believe you can run a 35 but it's worth it to pay the little extra money so you don't have 800-1000 dollars worth of tire rubbing somewhere. Just my opinion.

Welcome to the forum by the way.

Are you seriously putting 22" wheels on a 4x4?


I can get you a nice deal on some imitation gold chains and fake Rolex's too...

I put a 2" levelling kit on my '07 Mega Cab and I have 35 x 13.5 tires on 20" rims. There is a slight bit of rubbing but I just need to shave a little bit off inside the wheel well.

i had bad rubbing on my 08 mega with 325/65/18 with a 2" lift and had to shave a little off my fenders, I think I may have been screwedd by my wheel offset so my advice is to check into that before you go bigger. The leveling kit does make a big difference in the looks though, you will be happy.

I would reccomend a sway bar upgrade along with a strut tower brace before 22" rims.

I was joking, but when i read that you had the 4x4 what i said doesn't sound like a joke anymore.
