Help on lift, wheels, and tires

[Dallas2256]

Trying to go on and decide what i wanna do..im almost 99% sure i wont be able to do an actual suspension lift. but if i was to put a 3inch body lift would i be able to run 35x12.5x18 without a problem? ive got 285/75/16s now and its equivalent to a tad bit bigger than a true 33 and ive got no lift at all. only rubs a tiny bit when in reverse at full turn. also i need some opinions on wheels? i love chrome but i think id hate em on my truck. so trying to decide on somein aluminum or polished. got the mickey t classic 2's now but wanna somein kinda like the pacer warriors

ya those pacers are nice man, i think thats what mark's friend has on his white supercrew. Yes you can fit 35's with a body lift, lol just look at bigun's set up, he has 18 inch monsters with 37's on just a 3 inch body lift. He also has his tbars maxed.

yea thats where i got the idea, haha. mark said he'd do my t-bars too but i dont want mine maxed ive heard it makes the steering and all a little rough. if i got the 3inch body lift with like 2 inches of tbar, whats the max i could do? still 35s?

 

[TFIDDLE]

Yeah personally I wouldn go over 35's if ya plan on some articulating with a body lift. With 35's and ur tbars barely turned, its still prolly gonna ride like crap. Rwilhite had a 3inch body lift with 35's for a while.

 

[Dallas2256]

so for it to still ride semi-good, id wanna just put the body lift and call it a day with the 35s?

 

[TFIDDLE]

Ask rwilhite about the ride as I dont have a bodylift lol I just know wat fits

 

[iowaredneck]

yes you will be fine running 35's on a 3 inch body lift

ride quality wont be any different at all with a 3'' body lift, it doesnt have any effect on your suspension what so ever therefore your ride quality wont change. if you crank your torsion bars up however that will change it a bit but not really a noticable difference unless you maxxx them out

 

[Big'un]

Well mine have been maxxed for 5 years now and it rides as good as it did stock , ever who told you your steerin and all that would be messed up didnt know what they was talkin about ..... max your tbars out and throw a 3" body lift on it with some 35-37s

btw you can clear 35s with your tbars maxxed and a AAL in the back

 

[Dallas2256]

if i was to crank the tbars and do the add a leaf, how much would it be to get that done including labor? and however much a aal is
