Ok guys/ girls, getting ready to sell my H3 HUMMER. The H3 has 17 x 9 XD Addicts 5.5' bs with 35 12.50 17 Procomp Extreme MT's.

Since the bolt pattern is the same for the Tahoe and the H3, I want to lift the tahoe and run this wheel/tire setup. I'm sure I will have to swap out the tpms sensors and use the hub centric rings. So i have that part figured out.
So that will save me 2K in wheels' tires. The 33's bfg at's we have on the Tahoe will go on the H3.

My questions is will either the Superlift or Rancho kit allow enough room to run the 35's/ and be able to fully flex. I don;t want to run spacers on top of either kit, so that's not an option for me. Fabtech can ki$$ my a$$ after that kit ruined an Avalanche I had. I had that pulled and ran 33's with the same 5.5" bs on a 17 x 8 wheel. I don;t have pics any longer and I know there was more room, but not sure how much since we hacked the crap out the Av to make the 35's fit when the Factech kit was on.


any of you guys running the 35's and get your truck off road? If so, what specs are your wheel/ tire and any pics to help show the room or rub while turned/ flexed? We do plan to run moderate trails and will want full flex without ripping the fenders off.

thanks in advance for your help.

the 35's are going to be a tight fit with the rancho lift. You may have some rubbing when flexing or turning.

i have the 6 inch superlift kit on mine and still get slight rubbing when turned to full stop and under compression (i have removed all of the lower black plastic body trim from mine and trimmed some in the front wells). i'm running the 35 inch cooper STT's. this has been a great lift kit and i've been very happy, though i think the rancho kit looks great too! when i've been trail and mud riding i have not had any issues with the rubbing, but i am a bit more careful not to turn all the way to the stops where the problem occurs.

Any 6" will clear the 35s with that offset, I like the pro comp stage 2 coilover kits

35" ATZ on 20x10 revolvers with negative offset and we only trimmed the bumper, same kit will clear the shit out of those muds on the tahoe. Superlift kit is nice but I've had the best feedback from the stage 2 coilover pro comp kit and the fabtech kit you had issues with for some reason.
