4.5" is also a lot of backspacing. With a 12.5" wide tire and that much backspacing, you'll probably be rubbing on the sway bar.
Another thing to consider is gearing. Being you have an fx4, you have 4.10 gears and the 4.0 motor. That's the best case scenario from the factory for turning larger tires, but it is still a little on the under geared side to be turning 35s. I run 33s on that combo and it's a gutless turd, so I can only imagine how it would be on larger tire. So, unless you plan on regearing, I would shy away from anything larger than a 33, just from the standpoint of being able to turn them.

Thanks for the reply, and its going to be a street princess. I don't plan on wheeling it at all it's the first truck I bought on my own. It's still kinda brand new mileage wise for a 2003 with only 30k on it. Would I only be rubbing on the sway bar at full lock? And would 4.56 be the best gears to go with?
