you know you can run a 35 on an OBS with out a lift. by buddy did it. lil bit of trimming but not as much as a guy would think. butt 33 will clear all day long

yeah because my dad is running 285s on his ex and they are like 33x10.5 or something and the 305s i have are 33x12 but i appreciate your input :thumb:

I just got my 315/75/16's on my truck today. Stock wheels and I trimmed the back edges of the bumper up to the molding. Other than rubbing the leaf springs at full lock, everything else clears.

I put 285s on my truck and I had to shim the bumper out about 2 inches and then I havd to remvoce the plastic bump stop on the front springs because they rubbed on that and made a terrible sound. But after those 2 things i didnt have a prob, still kinda tight but that was with 285's. 305's would be really tight even worse if they are wider than a 285

I've got 285-75-16's on my truck. They equate to a 33x11.5-16. I didn't do anything at all to my truck, and they clear with way more than enough room. (enough room to make me wonder if 35's will clear). But, if you're running a 33" tire that's 12" or 12.5" wide, then there might not be as much clearance.

Best of luck to all in finding the best shoes for their OBS rigs.:thumb:

I have 285's on my 2wd and only rub at full turn. As for the 305's and 315's I use to run I had to trim the bumper due to the width not the height.

I could be wrong but from what I understand a F350 has a solid front axle and the F250 has a independent front so it will not be exactly the same.

Got an extra leaf spring up front, moved my bumper forward about 3/4 of an inch, just a hair of trimming and the 315x75x16's only rubbed leafs at full clock also. back down to 285's for fuel mileage lol
