Just use a 2" level kit you can get one for around 60 bucks, but I believe there is a thread or 2 on here with guys running 37's on factory wheels with NO lift whatsoever

37s would be a lil extreme with no lift.. i might try and see what happens with 35s. how hard is it to put a level kit on it? never done one with coil springs before?

I had half worn 35 MTs on my truck with a completely stock suspension for a while. I never had any rub. I DID get some rub with 315/70s on a stock suspension though.....

This is the truck with the 35" MTs on it....

Well only rub at full turn. As a plus you will drop about 300 rpm at highway speeds.

Been here before.... http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/6-...questions.html
My 35's didn't rub before I leveled it, and they don't rub now. I can't tell from your avatar but Is your's a dually? You'll need some spacers between the rears if it is. I used a 2.5 inch spacer but I think you can get away with 1 3/4.
P.S. They murdered my fuel mileage!!!

If you go with an aftermarket wheel with the 35s you shouldnt have too much of a problem. If you keep the stock wheels you will rub. Even with my leveling kit with 35s and stock wheels they rubbed on full turn. Issue was the stock wheels. Going higher would not fix that problem. Once those 35s wore out I went with some 285/70/17 on the same stock wheels no rubbing at all.

Also Leveling kits are very easy to install.

im running 285s now and theres quite a bit of room at full turn now.. and i already have the 2.5inch wheel spacers in the back. so that wouldnt be any problem.

You're all set then. 35's and 2 1/2" spacers....It's gonna be pretty tough fitting into 1 parking spot, I quit trying.
