285/70R17 would probably be pretty safe. 305/65R17 if you're looking for something more aggressive. Those are bigger than the standard Tire Rack recommendations, but those do not account for the little bit of extra lift. As always, anyone who has done this feel free to chime in.

I'm having the same problem. I have a 2002 Ram 1500 QC. I have got a daystar leveling kit, and currently am getting a body lift. I am looking to keep the stock 20" rims. What size tire can I fit under just the leveling kit? What tire can I fit under the leveling kit and body lift?

Thanks

Revillusion 757, it will be safe for 35" x 12" x 20" with your levelling kit andbody lift.

Did you measure how much lift you got before and after you turned the T.B's up?
W/o a Ready lift Torsion Key lift, 285/70/17 is the max you can get under it. With a "leveling kit" 33x12.50x17 will go

Hows it going!! i own a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab, i currently have a 2.5" leveling kit on it and was wondering if this would be enough lift to put 35" tires on or would it just be safer to go with the 33" tires!!!

with a 2.5" leveling kit you can fir 35's no problem. I did it on my truck without a problem. But i found with just the leveling kit the 33" looked better. Goto a local tire store and ask them to throw both sizes on ur truck and see what u like. Thats what i did. Hope that helps you

Default tire size

I have a 2008 5.7 Quad cab 1500 and I installed a leveling kit and just put on 20x10 Rockstar wheels with 305 55 R20 Mickey Thompson MTZ and they fit with no rub at all. That is almost a 34" 12.50. Nothing but a leveling kit. It looks sick, I should post a pic.
