Thanks for all the replies. Anyone out there have any direct experience with max size spare?

So, I am looking at BFG AT/TA/KO's and BFG Rugged Terrains. . . . Anyone have a clue what my rim width is? My truck is 4 states away at the moment. 17x7.5,8,or 8.5? I have the XLT pictured in my avatar.

So, I finally pulled the trigger on the lift install. Had it done professionally as I don't have the time or desire to do it myself these days. While they were in there I had them install the Lift/Leveling Kit and 4 new Bilsteins. Once they finished the alignment they "gained 3" all the way around" when comparing measurements to the fender wells before and after.

I wound up going with BFG Rugged Terrain A/T's in 285/70R17 which measure a smudge under 33". They fit all the way around, no rubbing, and the spare fit just fine with even a little extra room.

Tomorrow, I take her on a 2 hour road trip to check out how well the new suspension handles on the highway.

Thanks to all who provided input on this thread.

Anyone out there run 35" tires without re-gearing your rear end? How does it perform?
