LETS SEE THOSE 35'S ON STOCK WHEELS

Jacob said:
Truck is stock height. I didn't feel any rubbing, but there was a small clean spot on the suspension arm. Not enough to remove the paint in the 3 years they were on there.

That’s my experience. If you heard and felt it (guy above) what size was it? 35x12.5 you will def feel and hear it more as they are a good bit wider than stock

You will feel it more with more aggressive tread on the corner of the tires (where it rubs)... I had 35x12.5r18 Toyo ATii on my previous pickup, with stock 18x8 wheels and they rubbed the radius arms but not the sway bar....
 
Which is why I always say on stock wheels regardless of leveled or not

Stick with the 11.5-11.8 width for minimal rub that you can feel or so and in a metric size equivalent for higher load capacity and less weight per tire

For example stock 20” wheels 285/65/20 or 295/65/20 at most for 35’s
 
I will be getting new tires by the end of the month.I have been very undecided on my tire size and leveling.I think 35s would look awesome with my level but the performance of the stock size is great along with my 4.10 gears and I do tow 7-8k about every other weekend.
 
Yes, great tires. I had Yokohama XAT before on my Jeep and these Toyo are even more quiet.
 
Put a few hundred miles on these new Toyo AT3 LT295/65/20s

Truly excellent tire. Cruised at speeds of 70, 80, and 90mph. Felt very similar to stock at high speeds and can’t say there’s any more noise either. The look is drastically improved and seems to absorb low speed bumps better and floats thru jobsites now.

Very slight rub at full lock but I’m ok with it. Putting Thuren level and parts in soon but stock suspension so far and I’m very happy with these tires alone.

That looks great. I'm getting tires shortly, pretty sure I'm going to go 295/65-20 as well on my stock wheels. I've wondered if I'll regret the added 3/4" of truck bed height with my 63 year old knees, doesn't sound like much but I've noticed it on other trucks when I've gone with bigger tires. I really like those Rebel wheels, would consider them if I ever come across a set.

The Toyos are definitely more quiet than the OEM Goodyear on my 2014 PW.

The level kit doesn’t have any effect on rub at full lock.

It did for me.
To be clear it was a Thuren 2” level with Fox 2.0’s and Thuren track bar and Thuren sway bars that I had installed.
Prior to, it would clearly rub at full lock.
Post install, no rub.
I’m not mechanically inclined and am pretty new to truck mods so please understand I’m just reporting what I experienced.

Ok I looked at pictures and I believe the Thuren Track Bar was the key to the rubbing elimination. This is where the tires were rubbing on stock suspension.
