^^^ Agreed. you could fit 35s with just a body lift if you had an 87-91, but on the 92-96 year trucks you will need at minimum a 4" suspension lift. 6" would be better, and would cost about the same too.

Yup, and i bet the tires rub the radius arms when you get anywhere near full lock, and you had to trim a crapload off the front bumper to get em to not hit it either

it doesnt look like he did he has pics in his garage or albums idk wich it looks good but it doesnt look like a lot of wheel travel but then again its a 2wd so wont be too much 4 wheeling in it. so if ur going for looks then the body lift would work great and look good too

3 in body lift with 15x10 wheels = no rubbing on radius arms.A 12.50 tire is just as wide either way you look at it whether it be a 33 or 35.Now the bumper might need to be trimmed a little bit,but I guarantee the tires won't rub on the radius arms as long as you run a 10 in wide wheel.

If you are going to run 35 inch tires then at least do a real 4 inch suspension lift and regear the axles to at least 4.10 gears. I would go 6 inch. If you have stock gears and 35's it will be a real dog and guzzle gas.

Wow, great looking rig.

To the OP: You'll need a minimum of 4 inches of lift, as previously said. TexasGuy also said you'll need to re-gear your axles if you want to retain any power or fuel mileage at all. 4.10's would be alright.

Here is my 94 with 33/12.50R15s on 15x10s with 4 inches of backspacing. I did trim the bumper a bit. So I would think a 35 will fit with a 3 inch body lift just fine. I did do some test fitting of 35s, and as long as your not flexin it out they clear too. And I would go with 4.88s with 35s. I'm puttin 4.56s in mine.

You can have a 12in lift and be running 35s and they will still hit the radius arms if you don't have the right offset wheel.Lift has nothing to do with it whatsoever.3in body lift,or 4 in suspension lift and 15x10 wheels=no radius arm rubbing.6in suspension lift or a 4 in suspension lift and 3in body lift=36.5 to possibly38in tall tires.
