I'm running 35's with a levelling kit (KORE) and have only minor rubbing issues (pass. side tire on lower control arm at full lock). I'd recommend looking at other tires. I'm running Toyo Open Country M/T's which are E-rated and do come in a 35x12.50 for either a 17 or 18" wheel and have very high ratings. I've found them to be very good for mild to moderate offroading with mostly street use.

RE: leveling kit
In regards to the tire rub. Has anyone tried to put wheel spacers on to help eliminate the rub?
I too am looking to level my truck and put on a set of Toyo 35"s but I don't want to have to worry about the rub. I had a '74 Jeep CJ7 with a 6" lift and 44"s (with spacers) that worked out real well but there's a bit of a weight difference between that and the CTD.
Any thoughts?

I would be more worried about the bearings with the spacers added in.

RE: leveling kit
Since the last post on this topic I’ve been looking at several different options for the leveling kit. Most are offering a 2” (coil spring spacer) with a pair of shocks for anywhere from $180-$300.
Then I noticed that several guys are running either KORE leveling kits or (mostly) KORE Chase Systems. The KORE system seems to be the better choice as there system actually replaces the coil spring rather than just wedging a hunk of metal or plastic in there.
Any thoughts?
The KORE system looks great but I haven’t been able to find any pricing and have yet to find a dealer here in the Midwest.
Could you guys (Mikahb and Mcohen) give us some feedback?
Thanks

on this 35" tire & wheel spacer thing... I looked at another CTD last night that had the 35's on there, no leveling kit and no rub. back spacing was 4.5". there was a good inch on both sides between the tire & control arm.

the KORE setup's are quite possably the best there is for the 2/3500 rams. they only build these systems for the rams so they know the mechanics of these trucks better than just about anyone, includeing DC at times
