Can it be done??

[RobbieJ]

Ok heres the deal. I am buying new tires this week, I was planning on 33's but I've been reading the board and we all know what happens after that.... A VISION 35's. I am going to use AR-767's with standard back spacing 15x8s will I be able to fit 35's with 6 inces of suspension lift? (please say yes!!) I would hate to have to install a body lift.
Thanks, A man with a dream

Robbie,
I think you will need to at least get a 2" body lift.
Sorry, good idea to go with the 35's though

Robbie, it can be done but you might have to trim the front fender. Fenderguy from the board runs 35's with a 4inch lift and trimmed fenders. Check it out HERE If there is anything I can do to help with the lift, etc. let me know.

Robbie -

Man I love that last picture in my before and after. Anyway, Yes I have a 4" TrailMaster lift with 35's on it. As you can see, I have fiberglass fenders in the front, and have had these on even with 33's so I'm not sure how much 35's would rub without them. You will probably have problems in the rear with standard backspacing. Mine are at 3.5" so they stuck out a little, until I got the Bushwaker flares. You might be alright with 6" lift though, I've never seen one with a 6" lift. Tom Rios (FAKARWEE) has the Superlift 5.5" and has 35's with not too much trimming.
I would go for 35's and trim whatever you have to. You'll kick yourself if you don't and also 33's will look really small on 6" of lift. They started looking small on mine with the 4" lift.
Here's another pic with the 35's out at Truck Haven

i have 35's with my superlift 5.5" in front and the custom SOA in the back, along with the 2" body lift. When i start to stuff the tires up in the wells, it gets a little close, but luckily, the spring rate saves me. They don't jam the fenders, but they get realy damn close. I have the 767's too and the tires rub on the sway bar and radius arms, but thats not till full lock, so its no big deal. some pics:

My AOL name is F150chstrkalong with email F150chstrk@aol.com, mail me anytime or im me anytime.

I got the fenders from Perry's Fab n' Fiber. They definitely help out. They are easy to install and give the truck the look I like.

Riffman do you have standard backspacing or is it 3.5" like fenderguy? Also how do you like those dunlop mt's. Are they worth alot of miles on the highway? I'm torn between Good year mt/r and bfg mt but those dunlops look tougher then the bfg's. are your rims 15x8's? thanks

 

[riffman]

yeah, they are 15x8's with standard backspacing i think. 4.25? does that sound right?

I like the tires a lot. they do pretty well in all that i've been through. i mean, in indiana there isn't exactly slickrock, but there are some rocks for us to crawl on (see my pics) and they do pretty well. sorry, but i haven't had them enough to know how well they do over a long range of mileage.
