160 miles yesterday through the mountains and some severe thunderstorms. Great wet road traction from the BFG All Terrains and averaged 19.2 mpgs which may even be higher as the speedometer is still off so I traveled about 10% further than it calculated.
My last truck ('13 F350) had Toyo Open Country ATII Extremes in a 285/75/18 and the road noise was noticeable with the windows open only. I find the same with these. With the windows closed, the BFG's are no louder than the stock Falken Wildpeak tires but a hair louder with windows open. Much...
35x12.50x20 BFG All-Terrain KO2 on 20x9 +1mm Fuel Blitz rims.
ReadyLift 1.5" strut extension and Upper Control Arms on a factory off road group truck (North edition)
Love the BFG's! Had them on several different trucks. The only issue is these are the Winter rated version which is great in the snowy area I live in but they don't last as long. I've gone 50k on a set and they were wearing evenly. I dont expect over 40k miles out of these.
That's a lot of offset, even with only 33's I bet you'll rub the fenders.
I went with 35x12.50 BFG KO2's on 20x9 +1mm offset Fuel Blitz rims. North Edition (off road group) with a 1.5" strut extension and Upper Control Arms only.
Well according to BDS Suspensions, its the wheel bearing and knuckle bore that's larger on trucks with factory 22" rims so that shouldn't make much difference in space available between tire and knuckle.

If I remember correctly, the trucks with 22" rims had a different knuckle compared to those with factory 20" rims so that may be the reason he can run 12.50's on stock offset rims. I also wouldn't lift a factory non-off road truck 3" without changing the upper control arms let alone a ORP truck...
The Canadian only Sport/Rebel model got more styling cues from the Rebel than the Big Horn but not the Off Road Package or lift like the Rebel and Off Road package trucks..

Not a large load like my tractor but the first tow with the new setup and it hauled just as comfortably as stock. The 3.92 rear certainly helps a lot. This is about 5000lbs total and only a couple hundred pounds on the tongue. I'm sure with the tractor and over 1,000lbs on the tongue, it will...
Definitely won't have rubbing on the mud flaps with that much lift but will the 12.5" wide tires clear the upper ball joint and knuckle with a +18mm offset rim? I've read a 11.5" wide tire is the max on stock offset rims which is why I went with a +1mm offset rim for my 12.50 All Terrain TA...
Assuming you have a non-off road group truck, just a 2" lift might not be enough. I have the equivalent of a 2.5" lift front and 1" lift rear over a stock non-off road truck. Looking at how tight it is at the mud flaps, it would probably work but you would have to trim or remove the mud flaps...
I too just bent the tab straight up instead of cutting and painted the cracked paint (its hidden anyways). I also reused the large plastic push pin instead of drilling a new hole in the metal and using a zip tie. I did have to drill a new hole in the plastic wheel well to lineup with the bracket...
