Question How Big can you go?

I have a 1500 with a 2.5" level kit and I want to increase the tire size to a 35x12.5. Would this be placeable for me to attempt, or is my lift still not enough to put that big of rubber underneath the fender? Any help with this question would be great, and if you happen to have a favorite size/brand of tire I'm open to opinions, but please add what sort of lift you have. Thanks and if you didn't Dodge it, you got screwed.

Will fit, but may scrub a bit on turns depending on offset and backspacing of the wheel you choose. Also don't expect a lot of room for much articulation off-road or over bumps.
And yes, there is a plethora of good information in the FAQ section...

Yeah, 35s will fit. It'll be snug and you'll need a rim with 4.5" of backspace. Welcome to DF!

35's on a leveled Ram is too much tire. Doesn't look good. Stock 33" is perfect.
