Whats the largest tire size i can run on a 2009 pro 4x after 2.5 leveling kit??

Depends on the width and backspacing of the rims. Btw, without an aftermarket UCA the maximum level kit is a 1.5" lift, (on your Titan). Stock arms will hit the coil bucket bad with a 2.5" front lift.

Im running 325/60/18's. They're like a 33.5 but they are 13" wide. You can grind on the coil bucket and it want hit. My truck is a 05 so it might be different than yours.

The 08+ Titans have longer coil springs. A '08 + 2wd would be about the same as yours, but his already sits half an inch taller, so bucket contact would be much worse.

With the possibility of slight trimming, maybe front mud guard removal, the Nitto Terra Grappler AT in a 34.4" LT295/70R18 is probably the largest. There are several running this size. More likely to need trimming is the Nitto Trail Grappler M/T at 34.6" in the same size. It is very similar to the Toyo M/T, which isn't offered in this size though.

If you like shorter and fatter, the 33" LT325/60R18 will work, but if you care what the engineers think, they only approve that size for a 9" rim, (yours is an 18x8 with 5.5" backspacing, if still a stock 6 spoke, Pro4x rim). Lots run this in a Terra Grappler, and others. If you have a need to run your LT tire at higher inflation levels, for larger loads, this would be a poor choice, because the center of the tire will wear out faster, since the sides are pulled in more than what was designed for.

With either of the above you will need to trim for sure if later you go the a wider rim, and/or one with less backspacing, (like my 8" Viper's with their 4.5" backspacing, link in sig that shows where trimming is needed). This is because with the rim sticking out more it make a bigger arc when turning, so tires' rubs on the back of the wheel well.

The best fit though is the 33.3" LT275/70R18, with 2 pages of choices at this link, Tire Products - Discount Tire Direct

The 33.1" LT295/65R18 Good Year Dura-Trac is a new one that is around 3/4" wider. It takes studs which is cool for people that live in places where the snow sticks around for a few months.

I was gonna say there's people on here who have stuffed 35's under the 08+ with a leveling kit and the PWM. I myself want the RC 3" kit with the new UCA's and 35's.

Also, onetruthcrew, how do you like the STT's? Do they seem to be fairly quiet on the highway for an M/T?

You have to be careful with 35's and the RC UCA because there is not alot of room for a wide tire and at full lock you will get some rubbing, but i only noticed this the other day when i took this picture for another member.. I have the 35x12.50 Kumho KL71's and they are really like 11.4" wide on my stock rims...
