Has anyone done this? Been scouring the forum trying to figure it out. I’d love to see photos if so!
I have a 2025 XLT with 2.5” level, stuck between 33s and 35s.
Thanks in advance

What offset wheels? Regardless, I've got to think 35s are going to rub. At the very least you are removing crash bars and trimming liners. Even 33s are tight with stock suspension and a level.

I haven’t decided on the wheels yet, just want to see some photos and get opinions first from those people who have them. MPG, how they like them etc.

ok with removing crash bars and trimming

If you're on Facebook, join the group called "Modified Next Gen Rangers". It's an Australian group, but there are a LOT of guys on there with exactly what you're asking about.

I looked up this group and had 0 results. Are you in it? Mind sharing a link?

Im in the US, but I researched this and found there are some brands (Superior Engineering) making 4" lift kits in OZ. I think that 4" lift is the magic number for 35's. That kind of lift also includes a lot more than just the shocks, since its a big geometry adjustment. All of the common US lifts I'm aware of max out at 3" which makes a 35" fitment very tight.

For example

I think the aftermarket bumper may also help clearence.

Gear down! Your truck (specifically the transmission) will hate you if you just slap 35’s on stock gearing.
