33" inch is max with a leveling kit, and if you want 35's you will need to do a 4" lift which will void your warranty

295/70-18 with keys and shock extenders I got mine from Performance Truck Interior & Exterior Parts & Accessories - Fat Bobs - Ogden. I get my tires pot on on Friday.

Even with my fender mods you are going to be setting yourself up for frustration trying to fit 35" with just leveling.
My fender mod directions are meant for guys with lifts trying to gain clearance when turning full lock on the 07+ trucks due to the decreased wheel well opening space as seen in older classic body style HD's.
Even if you have seen 35"s under a LML be careful and do your home work on what you are getting yourself info because it's not as simple as some think it is with down falls of wearing front end parts and losing ride quality with the suspension being running maxed out.

Why do you want 35s? I've been completely turned off those. It's harder to stop and harder to get going with 35s, it kills your mileage. Plus no matter what a dealer tells you, 35s will wear the crap out of your front end if you only level it. Period. Idc what they sell you. You crank the truck up past the "green zone" for the leveling kit and you end up still wearing through the parts. 33s will give you a good look if that is what you are after and still allow you to not blow through new components.

What size does a 295/70/18 measure out to be? I'm assuming it's close to 33" cause I had 315/70/17 on my 06 2500 and they were almost 35"

Since when does a lift kit void your warranty? I understand the exhaust or tuner but not a lift...

Worked out awesome. I have 18x9 with 0 offset and 295/70-18's and ended up doing the norcal nick minor trimming looks geat rides nice. The trimming only took about 5min per side.

Gm has gone to a zero tallerance on modifications. My dealer just voided my exaust portion of mine for my dpf back exaust.(purly cosmetic) he also told me that going with larger tires could void my power train warrant because it puts extra stress and resistance on the drive train. They are looking for reasons to not cover you.
