Ok so yesterday i was wheeling at Coney Flat when i driving along minding my own business when i hear pssssssssss sound. so i look at my front driver side tire and see it rapidly deflating and think to myself "i don't think it is supposed to do that". Sure enough, it ends up flat.
So i get home last night and start searching for 1 used tire that matches so i can run that until i save up for 35's. Upon searching a list made by a guy named Craig, I find someone selling 4 used BFG A/T's in the 315/75/16 variety for $100. So i say to myself "HELL YES" and go buy them.
Anywho, I have discovered that 315's will absolutely and definitely NOT fit on stock wheel with out spacers unless you want your inner sidewall to get horrendously murdered by your UCA. The rear however will fit fine until you fully stuff the tire. So i ended up mounting 2 of the 315's and putting them on the rear and keeping 2 of the better 285's on the front until i get over to ToyTec this week and pick up some Spidertrax spacers and then i will get the fronts mounted
Here is a pic of the setup as it stands now
35's on the rear and 33's on the front.

Thanks Brian! And thanks for posting up how you trimmed for 35's. I'll definitely be using that!
Yeah the picture really makes it look wrong. It looks way different in person.

NOooooooo! Why are you selling it dude? Have to drive something else for practicality? I saw it on eBay, then came here to make sure it was legit. 
Boo.

Yeah i just need the money and a better commuter. Its more a feeler right now than anything. I don't think sn0wrunner will be friends with me anymore if i actually sell it.
Thanks. The tires are pretty low on tread but after i got that flat, i needed to find something and i couldn't pass up the $100 for all 4.

Also, since my truck has 35's, i figured it was time to trim so i could actually wheel with them. I basically just followed what brian2sun did. I removed the coilover and jacked it up to full bump and trimmed and pounded until it was clear from lock to lock.
here are a few pictures of what i did
Before (only trimmed the fender liner so far)
trimmed and pounded.
Painted and finished
Thats all i needed to do for 35's with a 2 inch body lift and full bump.

Mwahahahahaha
Results:
The stock pulley was a little tough to get off but not horrible. Just had to remove the nut and use a 2 jaw puller to remove it. URD pulley went on smooth.
I took it for a drive and saw that i am able to hit 7.5psi pretty easily where i was only seeing about 6psi max with the stock pulley. If i remember correctly, When the ECU was relearning the fuel map after i installed the S/C, i was only hitting about 5psi until it got the map figured out so i'm guessing it will end up somewhere around 8.5psi. A/F ratios are still spot on and it never leans out at redline
Definitely faster
