what size will i clear?

[chevyboy831]

so, my buddy and i came across a donor truck for effin cheap. we needed it because his 10 bolt decided to split the carrier housing. the donor truck had a 6 inch lift and a 3 in body lift. he kept the diffs, motor trans, transfer case, and suspension lift for his. i got the body lift from it. I have a torsion key and 2in block kit sitting here that i have yet to install. i want to do both, but was wondering what size tire i will clear. 35's maybe? or do i have to run 33's?

Even though he misspelled "search" He is right It would be better for people to search threads before Asking a question that has been answered a couple hundred times. this pushes older informative discussions farther back in history but any who . to your question , If you don't want to Trim 33s with a total of 5 inches of lift (2 inch level and 3 inch body ) will clear Just fine . now if your not scared to use a angle grinder you can clear 35s with minimal offset with no issues . Keep in mind however the bigger the offset the more issues your going to run into .

Yea as don says but a 3in lift can clear 35s just gotta be careful about offset but 5in will clear it easy. I would just keep the 3in body lift so you don't have to mess with the keys and blocks

That is the spelling in English, yes, but this is the intardnets. Words are purposely misspelled for a comedic effect. The proper spelling in this case is serch.

Eh at 5 inches of lift I barely fit 35s in no way would a 3 inch body lift clear 35s comfortably , unless its a mall crawler , I couldn't even turn my wheel halfway at 4inches with minimal trimming it was a PITA, Mind i had a deep offset but even on stock backspacing any articulation of the front and rear axle will end up with a Fender vs tire deathmatch .

No worries mate , Im not discouraging you in anyway or deliberately singling you out . Nor am I asking you to research a cure to cancer but sometimes we get so many of the same questions that I wonder if anybody even searched the first 2 pages as to their question
