Default 35"s with leveling kit???

Hey guys, I want to put 35" tires on stock 17" wheels with a leveling kit. Will 35s fit and not rubor should I stick with 33s?

From what ive been told, the ram wheels wells are constructed weird. They have plenty of room up and down but not front and back. So i believe if you went with 35's you would have to get the same or thinner tires than stock. With 33's you can go much wider without having to worry about any problems. Im puting rims and tires on my truck this week,,i went with 18' american racing mojave polished,325/60/18 or 33's toyo open country m/t, the 2 inch leveling kit, and 4 new shocks,,ill post pics as soon as i get it done,,hopefully by the end of the week

Thanks Erock509, any particular reason for adding the shocks? I have heard that some people have a "thud" noise when hitting potholes after adding the leveling kit. Any problems for you?

Well I havent put it on yet,,like i said hopefully by friday. From what Ive been told people dont have any problems with them, as long as youre not doing any serious off roading,,then you should just change the springs out. But for the shocks, you have to change the front two because the stock are not long enough once you put those two inches in there, and im just doing the back so it matches. im puting on skyjacker shocks, and switching out the red boots for black. Ill let you know how it turns out. And any1 on here that can correct me if im wrong, pls do.
