You need to measure that 35" tire on stock suspension, because if you are clearing a true 35" tire you'd be the only one. Hell I know guys with 2" level kits who scrub on anything over a speed bump with 35s.

how wide are your tires and measure them to see how tall they really are. theres been so many people try it and have rubbing that I cant see how you are not having ANY at all if you have TRUE 35/12.5

EDIT: beat me to it hammer

That must be one unique set. I am not trying to be a smarta$$ but I have had and seen many BFG MTs over the years and all of the 35's I have measured and seen measured were within a 1/4" of 34" tall.

Default 285/65 R20 tires

Hi all

I have an 04 4x4 that I'm in the process of buying tires for. My question is, will 285/65 R20 tires fit on a stock truck? also, I think my truck has a leveling fit but haven't confirmed it (bought it used). The truck has plenty of height and has ZERO rake. Did some of these trucks come with a front suspension level option? Again, the truck is absolutely level..

Should fit if leveled. If you need a little more clearance in the front crank the torsion bars a little. Those are going to be about 34.6" tall and 11.22" wide.

34.25" tall tire

Please look HERE for general fitment

To calculate tire sizes... 285 is width in mm. the 65 is the height in proportion to the width(called aspect ratio). It's the percentage of the width. 65% of 285 = 185.25mm<---This is the height of one sidewall. You multiply this number by 2 and get 370.5mm. Do a unit conversion to inches (370.4mm)and get 14.58" and now add 20" for the wheel...34.25" tall

I would say that is the biggest tire you can put on a stock wheel safely with little to no rubbing, although you might still get minor rub at full turn.
