Yes they would but RCD doesn't make a 4" lift. They USED to make a 5.5" kit. But that is discontinued. You might be able to find it. And you could clear 37's with that setup.

you CAN clear but its not recommended at all. if you plan on never wheeling it sure clearness on is good for a mall crawler. you want 35's fits great.

plus as we all know the stock RCD coil overs suck and putting 37's on them i woudnt do... also there is the problem of the diff support bracket that needs to be fixed before install or it will brake...


pretty much go order yourself a Superlift they work dont have the problems an RCD does coming out of the box..

true even if you dont wheel it, its an extremely tight fit remember evans his was so close i wouldnt do it at all...



btw you have have searched for this info its explained over and over or could have done one simple click of the stickied tire guide in the "wheels and tire" section and it states this for you

well he asked if he got a rcd and a body lift could he fit 35's and you said yes if you want to mall crawl. so good for you zach. he can fit 35's with one of the two lifts he can fit 35's with both.

no just get the info right Adam and me where discussing 37's... he is also not wheeling it if you would have read fully... he wants to "bling" his 22's with the chicks


and for the OP here is Evans truck with 37's and RCD+BL (the Bling look your going for

well hate to tell you but most 35x12.5x what ever are 34.5 or larger so untill you can buy a size thats a true size they are what they are called. here is BFG's website with the measurements. even a 35 inch tall tire is not a 35 inch tall tire. and a 33 is not really a 33.

and your mtz are really 34.8

I'm saying he fits those 34.4" tires ALOT better then a 34.8" '35' because it's half an inch shorter!!!
