Post some pictures when you have the new 35's on!

I've seen that thread before but I'm pretty sure I've seen somebody with a setup close to mine run 35s. Anybody have any personal experience with this?

Do you have the axle gearing to run 35s?

Jefe did it 12 years ago.

I have 4" on lift and test fitted some 35 with no problem in fact I'm getting a new set for it soon.

Herc had a 3" body lift + TT. I had to cut nearly 2" of metal off of the rear of the front fenderwells when I went to 35" tires. If that is what you have in mind when you write "with a little hacking" then yes, you can do it.

And, to ask Bill's question again - what gears do you have? 4.10 didn't cut it when I went to 35" and I regeared to 4.88.

Those tires might require more room that other 35s IMO. where you might get a small rub from an AT/MT those will catch. Just my $.02. I would def want 4:88s for 35's. I wish I had 4:88s with my 33s but the rear 4:56s were free.

Im running 4.10's in mine but reason being is I'm also turning 3k rpms at 65-70mph with my trans. Idk why mine came out heard so low with the setup I have but I can start out in third gear. But now my other exp I can see needing 4.88 in it with 35's.
