Kappy that is exactly why you ar rubbing. I really want to figure out if this guy canfit 36inch tires on a 6 inch lift. Maybe snurtle could chime in on this. I know he knows a bit about this subject. If he can fit them I would be willing to put 36 on mine seeing they weigh the same as the 35's I am looking at from SS.

Its a stretch. But it pulls fine on the flats. i have upgraded some key parts still have a few to do like swaybars and rotors. Seems pretty strong dont really use overdrive at all. But I do miss my old 7.3 dually could tow in OD all day long..

Hey everyone . Thanks for all the replies. I am still a little confused to if they will fit. If anyone could maybe give me advice on how to measure as njstevens said that would be great. The rims and tires are going to run me 1430 mounted, balanced and shipped to my door. I didnt think that was too bad of a price. Ive got the money but trigger shy right now with not knowing if they will fit with out cutting. I dont mind cutting the wheel well plastic but dont really want to mess with my bumper being it is chromed. There must be some way to calcualte this with measuring somehow , right. I read someone said 4 inch backspacing wasnt enough, if that is the case how much will i need then. The biggest I have seen thus far is 4.75 on a larger rim ie 18.
