2" leveling kit & 35's?

Anyone know if I can clear 35's w/ stock 18" rims w/ a 2" autospring leveling kit? I haven't gotten an email back from autospring yet and it says 33" easily and 2.5" kit clears 35's easily. I want a small rake so want to do the 2" kit if I can.

Also, can I get a 315/70/18 BFG All Terrain tire anywhere. The only sizes I've been able to find for 315's online is for 17" wheels???? I'll be disappointed if I can't, I really want the 35's!

You can get a 305x65x18 BFG AT which is close to 34 inches tall. I have the 315''s on a 17" wheel and clear them easily, BFG make's a 325x65x18 but you may have some rubbing with those.

I've got 35s on a 2" Skyjacker kit. I have the stock 17" wheels also. I have no rubbing issues unless at extreme full lock and even then it's usually only in reverse.

You can fit 35x12.50-18's (305/70-18) with a 2 inch kit and the oem wheels. A 325/65-18 is basically a 35x13.00 tire and is a little too wide for the oem 7.5 inch wide wheels.

I thought the 305's are just under 34"? I want the 315's but they don't make 'em for 18's and after talking to Auto Spring they said that the 325's will definitly rub. I think I'll probably just end up going w/ the 305/65/18 w/ the 2" kit, because I don't want to have to do the AAL w/ a 2.5" kit...and I guess I'll be saving myself some money as well as down the road....I'm just thinking that I read so many people on hear saying they wish they went bigger, and I'm sure I'll probably be one of them! LOL

If the 305x65x18's were out a few year's ago I defintely would have put them on my 18" Lariat wheels. Remember if you get BFG AT's you'll be married to them for about 60k miles !

305, 315, 325 and so on is the width of the tire in millimeters, not the height. You have to look at the aspect ratio and wheel size also to determine height.

Yeah I got that part, but the 305/65/18's are under 34" and they don't make a 305/70/18 or a 315/65/18 in the BFG A/T....however they do make a 35/12.5/18 in the M/T, I'm gonna have to check that one out!
