Got the lift on now time for tires

[argray90]

How hard was the 3" PA lift? Could it be done in the driveway? So with the 2.5" level and 3 in body lift do 35s fit? I was told with 17x9 with -12 offset 35x12.5 tires would fit on a 2.5" level?

The lift is very easy it took around 6 or 7 hrs with beer brakes by my self. Just take your time read directions an you won't have a problem. All u need is basic tools a grinder an I found that bottle Jacks an a block of wood work good to raise the body.

It's coming along slowly but none the less it's coming along. I'm having a hard time picking a tire size 33s seem a little to small 35s look a little too "stuffed" for me so how about 295 60 20s? I did some math an I think they come out to 34 11.5s. What do you guys think?

Two days after I bought it at work.

wow, nice looking truck!! is this a 4x4? i am asking since i am stuck between a 4" or 6" lift on my 4th Gen 4x2. if it is a 4x4 your 5.5" total lift should be almost the samt as a 6" lift on a 2wd since a 4x4 sits a little higher, right?

You would not need to trim lugs if you are only using a 1/4" spacer. Plenty of members including myself have used 1/4" spacers to run 35x12.5 on factory rims with your set up. I've got a used set of 4 I'd sell you for 45 shipped. The ones from rough country. I didn't have any vibes with them just be sure to remove the washer that is on one stud on each hub as it would keep you from getting a flat surface to mount to. I'm actually running 37x14 with -24 backspace on my truck with the 2.5" level in the front, 1.5" in the rear and 3" pa bodylift.

I just got 295/60R20's yesterday. Had to get a 1/4" spacer but nothing else. It still rubs just enough at full lock to shine up the upper control arm but other than that 295/60R20 is a pretty good fit. Basically a 35 without the 12.5 width

I'm in love with em. Had to go down and get our old stands we used to put our deer blinds on from the farm and the gumbo wasnt really too bad except for some spots here and there and they easily just went right through in 2WD with maybe 4000 lbs on the back. And they're a lot more aggressive in person than what you can get from a picture. Did have to put a 1/4" spacer in but so far I haven't had any trouble. They ride rougher but theyre a mud tire so that's to be expected. And they do have a howl but not much of one. I like a little howl personally but, anywho. Here's a picture I tool today after cleaning it up from the farm. You let gumbo stay on tires is turns em blue for some reason? Lol
