I've got a 3" body lift and thinking about 35's

[EastTXYukon]

Trying to decide between running 33"s or 35"s on my Yukon. It's got a 3" body lift on it right now. What else do I need to fit the 35's? The torsion bars are cranked enough to level the front end currently.

This is my daily driver so ride quality is somewhat important. I dont want to replace ball joints every year becuase Ive cranked the bars too much.

What are my options? Should I go add a leaf or blocks in the rear or what? I'm mainly concerned about the crank up front cause this isnt just a weekend wheeler. Or should I forget the 35's until I can get a 6" suspension lift to go on top of the bl?

i no that some folks just have the body lift and torison bars cranked up or bigger torison keys. i want to do the same and im just installing my 3inch body lift and buying bigger keys

well heres your problem with running 35's, your gonna need to regear it. its been a while since i regeared and i think its in the neighborhood of like 1500 installed at a shop. i could be way wrong tho.

Yeah this is a good point. I did already plan to regear to a 4.11 or 4.56. If I went with 33's I'd just hold off on the regear till later

i have had 37's on my 01 with stock gears and haven't run into a problem in 5 years
but I'm sure the nnbs are probably completely different.

You probably dont have the ****** 3.42 gears though. If my truck had 3.73 I could probably get by for awhile. But unfortunately I don't.

for 35s, I'd go 4.56

So would you run a 2" block in back and crank the front some more and just run it that way?

Also for 4.56 the carrier has to change.'so wouldn't it be a good idea to go to a 14 bolt at that time as well?
