Anyone running 35x12.50's with a body lift only?
I put a set of 35x12.50 tires on my truck today mounted on 15x10 soft 8's and they actually fit fine... a little rubbing on the valance but no big deal. Anyone running this size tire with just a t-bar crank and 3 inch Body lift? Just wandering... about to order some for my double lift and need to know if they fit or not. without suspension for the time being... Amy help would be greatly appreciated.

I dd'd it for a week or so....without valence without flares. Gaurenteed to rip 01-05 flares off at full lock. On top of that, you're DC1s stick out 1/2" farther out than my wheels....which equals even closer to rippin' **** off. This is a street driven review. Don't even get me started on trying to drive it off road.
I thought the whole point of doing 32's is to make the truck easier to drive, more of a traveling vehicle, more economical??? You b!tched enough about having 33's and 3" BL...you expect 35's to be fun?
EDIT: btw....maxed torsion bars are a must too..

Dont do it Ben. Like Shane said you will regret it and ***** your truck up.
35's on stock gears is gonna suck and the power loss and decrease in MPG is not gonna be in the direction that we all thought you wanted to go.
If you double like thats different. Then I say do it.

If the RCD was on stock springs that sagged like a mother and the SL was on newer 'tight' torsion bars, yeah, SL can be taller than RCD. Me...I'm no where near Trevor on his 750lb springs and also no where near Austin on his coil-overed SL with 600lb springs. Damn these maxed out saggy torsion bars. They both got a little over an inch on me.

i didn't kill any of my flares or valance when i was wheeling but i couldn't turn to full lock. but i have torsion keys and shackles with my bl so i don't know if that made the difference and mines not maxed either i'm probably just at the stock # of turns in on the bolts maybe a little more
