I have seen and worked on two nnbs running same size tires with leveling kit, if youre gonna do it, do it right and actually put a 4 or 6 inch lift on it, leveling kits on 4wd play hell on the cv axle angles, and the tires rubbed before even close to fully turned..... Most lift manufactures rec tire/wheel sizes on their lifts just find one that recommends something close to what you have which are roughly 35x12.5 18....

Yeah............a 35ish inch tire will need a 6" lift to clear with anykind of offset. It "may" fit with less lift but your going to be chewing the hell out of the bumper/fenders.

Maybe i'm just super redneck But if you have the tires already mounted on the wheels I would go home put them on and see whats actually rubbing. Ifs its just some plastic inner fender junk or only the very edge of the bumper I would trim it myself.

But I like the stuffed big tire look.
Not so much the big lift with tires not even the wheel well look.


But if you really want a lift I would look into BDS there stuff is a little pricy but excellent quality! and it come swith add a leafs instead of blocks and all new shocks and yada yada.

BDS sells a 4 inch high clearance lift which is really all you need if you're looking to be level, and not stack leveling kits.
