Ranger Raptor 35 Inch Nitto Mud Grappler tires + 2" Rough Country leveling kit installed

Outlawwx · Sep 21, 2026

New to the forum! My 2025 Ranger Raptor on 35x12.50R17 Nitto Mud Grapplers. I am running a 2" Rough Country leveling kit.

No rubbing and no trimming, truck still has factory crash bars as well. Just wanted to post for the people that are wanting to run a true 35 inch size tire that are worried about rubbing or having to remove any components/spending lots of money on fancy suspension components. It can be done on a RC puck level and I am running one of the most aggressive tires on the market tread wise. Pictures are the week of install in May, still rides and drives fine.

Looks good, but did you use a forscan to recalibrate the ride height of your shocks?

I was going to ask this.

Are you running wheel spacers? Have you taken the truck off road? When you say no rubbing, does this include full lock in reverse and under any articulation? Thanks.

Love it. But what's your gas mileage like now? Doesn't really matter, I know. But just curious.

Full lock reverse will rub most likely. Jumps might rub. Mine does slightly on fender.

I am not running any sort of spacer, I do not rub at full lock in forward or reverse. Yes I have taken it offroad, around me at least there hasn't been many instances where I have had to flex out the truck, I am sure if I articulated it really hard the tires may hit in some spots. Also when I say I have taken it off road its been in mud, muddy farm roads etc. Haven't ran it on any "trails" with rocks and such, just rural farm roads that are soupy.

If I full blown jumped this truck with this setup there would be a lot more happening than rubbing lol

I like the look! I have the 2.5“ Icon spacer lift on the front of my RR and am thinking about Toyo AT3’s in 35/11.50/17. How is the road noise with that tread pattern?

Loud. No other way to say it haha. Cannot beat a Toyo AT! Good all around tire. Hopefully that video will work for everyone if they are curious/ask the same question.

Thanks for the info. I would have expect rubbing on the upper control arms with 12.5s. I'm guessing it is quite tight with those aggressive tires.

Yes, very little room between the inside sidewall and the uca's
