Have alignment scheduled for morning of 24th any imput would be great Thanks

truck looks great. just put 35 inch procomp extreme ats on. trucks a little sluggish and i rub a little but i trimmed some stuff up and its barely noticable now. love em. in my opinion leveling kit with stock rims and 35's is the cleanest looking truck on the road

So how bad did the performance and gas mileage of your truck decrease? Was your speedo effected?

Well crap, I forgot about your post about how these rubbed when you put them on.
Did the tires rub the upper control arm all the time, or was it only when you were turning? I've talked to lots of people who had the BFG KM2 35's and only rubbed at full lock. I just put a deposit down to order the toyo's today and I'm hoping I didn't shoot myself in the foot. The shop isn't going to order them until Monday morning so please let me know asap. I don't want to have to run spacers with these if I can run the KM2's without spacers.
Thanks!

Even though the size is the same, the BFG's are a little narrower than the Toyo's and may give you a little more clearance. I'm sure a few on here didn't have to use spacer's with the BFG's.

I never took the spacers off. Truck was driving fine with them on and havent had any time the last couple of weeks to try without them. Just trimmed some plastic the other day and now have no rubbing anywhere, even at full lock. When I was at the tire shop getting the tires put on. Tried them without the spacers first and there was barely any clearance between the tires and upper control arm, but never actually drove the truck without the spacers. sorry i cant be more help

Hey no worries, thanks for replying.
I canceled the Toyo's and ordered the BFG's anyway, as I think they are a little lighter, easier fit, and I really wanted to try them out. I may play with a 1/4" spacer (even though I hate the idea) to see if I can eliminate the control arm rubbing at full lock.

My 35" pro comp extreme A/T's rub at full lock, and they are about 1/4 inch from the control arm. I have a leveled FX4. Jac443221 my truck seems to have more room in the wheel wells than yours, not sure why tho. Im hoping to be changing my setup soon anyway.

I think it's just an illusion. I thought the same thing at first too until I looked at the closer pics.
