fitting 35's

[onlyinacomanche]

What height of lift would i be looking at in a lift to fit 35's with fender trimming etc? I've got a 3 inch lift currently and I want to go bigger...but once i go bigger, I'll probably want more then too, haha. It seems like everybodys truck or jeep is taller than mine here in Tennessee. Thanks. -Will

I'm at 6.5", sits closer to 8" I think. Clears alright. I did quite a bit of hacking. Just make sure you get rims with little enough BS.

 

 

Oh, please tell me you've contemplaited the consequences of such a tire on stock axles.

I've got the RE 5.5" kit on mine and with the BFG AT 35's it rubs if I flex it to the limit. I trimed my fenders a little but really want to go with a TnT long arm kit instead of trimming anymore. If you have a Dana 35 in the rear I suggest upgrading to a Dana 44 or something else before you go to 35's.

I am trimmed as far as possible, and still rub on worn out 35 mud rovers :eek: I suppose I could bump stop the rig a lil better :deal: But they are over rated and cost money :evil: I plan on swapping in D60's with 42's :nanner: so I know I will have some rubbing issues, unless ;) I go with ful hydro steering and move the axle forward a lot more :D

 

 

 

Back to your question. At least 5" and proper bumpstopping, and cut as much as you can. In otherwords cut your fenders to where they are even with you inner fenders, and loose the bed :banana:
