6 inch lift and 35's

Well ive done hours of searching and going through the lifted superduty thread but hopefully i can find some pictures through this thread. Im looking for pictures of a superduty with atleast 6 inches of lift on 35x12.5 and maybe wheel spacers. I got about 3 inches of lift and i think im going to go up to 6.

My brothers F250 7.3 was running a leveling kit with 35/12.50's. Why do you need so much lift for a small tire? Along with the flares should be alot of clearance.

my flares arent cut out flares. My tires rub the leafs and the inner fender. And when im wheeling and i flex they rub bad when im trying to climb and turn at the same time. Im not saying the people you are talking about didnt do alot of offroading but this truck is almost dedicated to offroading. I hate that my tires rub just flexing and turning a little bit.

And a few days ago my tire rubbed so hard on the outer fender that it pushed the fender up. I dont want to have to make it look bad but im more about function than looks. I just want to see some pictures before i pull the trigger on more lift.

4.5 lift will give you plenty of space.

Here ya go. 34.6"x12.5" Yokohama tires...but running on a Rough Country 4.5" lift.

As "Will Bite" noted earlier, going any higher with this tire size I think would look awkward.

I know it's not the 6" lift you asked for, but I hope these photos help a little.

Check out the pictures of my 2014 250 with 6inch Zone radius arm lift on 37s.

i think what i will go with is 5 or 5.5 inches of lift. i made a leafspring pack for the front of my truck and flipped the shackle and added a 1 inch block in the back so im guessing i have 3.5 inches of lift now but i also think it is sagging alot because i can see my front leafs are now drooping down on the ends since they do have 300k miles on them.. I have 35x12.5x16 mud grapplers and the bottom of my fenders are just about 3/4 of the way up my rims. I want it to sit about at the top of my rims. I also want to be able to run some wheel spacers to get the tires off my leafs when i turn and lift it higher so they stop rubbing my inner fender. I must only be at about 2.5 inches of lift now or pretty much just leveled since most guys say they run 35's without rubbing.

oh and thank you guys for the pictures. i know that most guys run 37's with 5 inches and up but i use my truck for wheeling pretty much daily and only drive it on the road to get there. And im not able to get alot of use out of the suspension with anything under atleast 4.5 inches of lift so i think i will buy some 4.5 inch lift springs for the front and back and flip the back shackle back to the stock position. then just run the factory block in the rear. Im still looking for more pictures though if anyone sees this! thanks.

If i pushed them out away from the leafs any more then they would rub the fenders. Since as soon as im turning and flex at all the rub the innner fender bad. I understand that my tires need to be pushed out more but since i just spend $600 on rims im not buying new rims just to have my tires rub my fenders harder. But thank you for your opinion
