First of all yahoooo...Finally got my truck I've wanted for years! 2006 2500 Laramie Diesel.

I'm looking to get some 35 tires, but not sure how they'll fit. I'm specifically looking at MT Baja ATZ 315 / 70 / 17 (35 inch). Does anyone know if they will rub without a lift? Could I use a leveling kit to prevent rubbing? Lastly, would I have room to put on Chains (mud and snow) in the front if I needed to?

Happy buyer!

 

I believe the Powerwagon has 33's stock. I know a few guys that had older 2500 and had to put in a leveling kit to keep the fronts from rubbing with 35's. I have no idea about the chains

 

This question gets asked about once a week...

I say 33's are about the tallest in a 2500 Diesel 4x4 with no rubbing. 4x2 doubtful.
If you seriously off-road, 33'swill probably give yousome rubbing. My buddy has them on his '04 2500 QC LWB CTD 4x4.
Some people say 35's will fit stock. I say no. With tire chains on all 4 wheels, (like with a snow plow)definitely no- even with a 2" lift, based on my Power Wagon with 34's. The Power Wagon is 1.8 inches taller in the front over the standard 4x4. Chains on rear only is maybeOK with 33's-35's,Cables would be better.

 

Hunt, you bought my truck!!! That's EXACTLY what I'm looking for! What color?

 

The inferno red. I think I got a good deal on closeout. $36 out the door with tax for an automatic standard laramie with no navigation.

Thanks for the advise all. Sounds like if I want to keep it in the garage for a couple years the tires and lift will have to wait. Ya ya, I'll baby it that way till I get er broke in, but it's tempting.

 

Oh, and what's that beaut sitting next to her?
