What size tires can I clear.

If I run a 3"BL, 3" spindles, 3" coils and spacers, aal, and new shocks. What is the max tire size I can run? I will also have 4" blocks in the rear.

I wouldn't go larger than 35s

BTW if you're talking about the truck in your signature then you can't run coils and spacers.

You can run 37s or 39s with a stepside as well but its going to be extremely stuffed.

There was a guy running 39.5s with spindles, body lift, and maxed t-bars, but I sure as heck wouldn't do it. You'd have no room for suspension movement. My 35's barely still rub when I flex the suspension, I wouldn't even do 37s.

So I would be safe if I ran spindles, BL, AAL, and blocks. All I would run would be 35" at the most. I realize later I wold have to use 4:56 gears to get off the line, but I dont care that much about getting off the line.

Yeah that setup should clear 35s with no problems.

Yeah he went way overboard. Nice to know I could do it if I wanted to though, all he had was a BL and spindles, and blocks. Of course yall dont think i will look to high only sittin on 35"s with all the lift?
