sits good, but i dont think it will clear 35's.. cant wait to see bigger tires on it. also did you have to do anything to the back to lift that up, cause i'm going to need a 3" rear block at least.. thanks

No this truck has always sat higher in the back alot for some reason. It use to nose dive bad. I think it will but i dont got a problem with my tires rubbin. I have a 9 16 in the back yard i will put up next to it and see how it looks. I believe they are about 35 or 36

O and i got 33s on the back for got about that.

Well I finished my lift on my 75. Put 4.5 inch blocks in the back to go with the 6.5 inches i got from the i beam flip. My truck has had some leaves removed from the spring pack so if it wasn't for that I wouldn't have to have as tall of a block in the back. Waiting on my friend to brings me the tires he is selling me, 11.00-16 michelin militarys.
