I'm lifting my X with a 4" susp. lift and a 2" Torsion twist. Will 35"s fit on my rig with out alot of cutting. Or will I need to cut?

I've heard it both ways, but as you will definitely hear it depends on the truck and tires.

What do you think the biggest tires I could put on my X is, without doing the 3" Body lift.
 






i was really hoping to avoid the BL because I heard the chances of rollover are great. Is this true?
 






i would say safely 33. 34-35 might rub a little. You can just trim some metal.
 






33's will be hell on your trans unless you regear.
 












Yes, 4.56 will be fine.
 












People have 35s with 5" of lift. You're going for 6". Put 35s on it, trim what you need to, get at least 4.56s and have fun.

So are you doing this or an SAS?

Where I live there is nobody to do it but my buddy was in the army and woked for a lifting place, so he's going to do it for me. plus I was thinking about a straight axel but that sounds really really expensive.

is definitely the way to go.
 












Another pro is you have a lot more adjustability. If you want to go from a d44 to a d60, just throw it in. :cool:
 






Pros are, it's stronger, it will actually flex, there are many ways to set it up and you can have as much lift as you want.

Cons are, it's expensive...

If i switched to straight axle how high could I lift it?

I would cap it off at about 30". You could still run some 54's with that height.
