Nope. Just the stock 4.56's. It works okay. Next summer when the SAS takes place I'll swap in 4.88's to get the powerband back to where it should be. I still use all the gears like normal, adding the 35's I've only noticed a slight drop in rpms at certain speeds.

Here in the US there are not many to pick from. Other countries more options when it comes to 34x10.5's, 35x10.5's sizes. I had to wait until my 33's went into the trash before my wife would allow the 35's.
Only thing about the SSR's are that they measure out true to their stated size. On the truck(loaded) these are about a mm below a full 35" in height. Quite tall.

How have I reduced my range of motion? Stock IFS is still weak when it comes to flex. I have the same amount of wheel travel as I did with 33's or 31's for that matter. Why run 33's when I can run 35's without issues? I have much more ground clearance than with 33's plus it sits nice and low.
I'll never add a IFS lift, just no point. SAS is next summer but even with the SAS in place it'll still be a low rider. I hate tall lifts. Keep it low, put on big tires and add the correct gearing and the truck will go anywhere.
