Looks awesome! I'm in between 35/11.5r17 and 315/70r17's. The skinnier tire looks good!

Thank you!
Yes I was too but read an article by an engineer (Just a google search) that tested and proved out that a slightly narrower tire is not only more efficient but more effective too on mid size trucks.
Also the tire is so much lighter and I like the way it looks on the truck vs a 315 or 12.5

Yeah it looks like a 10 lb swing on the AT4W. I know people swear by the skinnier tires on trail. I'll have to look into it. I just am a sucker for wide tires coming from muscle cars haha.

Great winter tire too (I love to snowboard and have a place in Brian Head, Utah)

I’ve never had issues with 12.5 and surprised that it wouldn’t be suggested over a 11.5 for a trail. More tire on the ground = greater traction. That’s why we deflate our tires.

AI Recap of pros and cons:
When choosing between 35x11.50 and 35x12.50 tires, consider that the 35x11.50 is narrower, potentially offering better fuel economy, snow/ice traction, and less hydroplaning, while the 35x12.50 is wider, which could lead to more aggressive off-roading capabilities.

That all makes sense from an off-road standpoint. I’ve heard that the narrow tires are better for snow. I guess it depends on what your norm is. For me I live in Colorado and need the extra traction for off-roading. Thanks for sharing the info.

Nice build. I see these in the same size are coming soon. I would expect a price drop also. https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tires/bfgoodrich-all-terrain-t-a-ko3/p/157629

Here is mine with the same 2" collars, the Rousch +25 Iridium Gray wheels on factory 285s with virtually no poke. Do the 35-11.50-17s poke out at all on you setup, and are they any wider than the factory tires?

Pretty much to the edge of the fenders.
Even tho they say 11.5 they measure out 11.9 per the specs

LOVE that you Line X'd the front lower portion and skid plate. I may have to steal that idea.
