Gotcha, nothing like a good stuffing!! I think 32 is about right like yours so you can still off road if you want to?

I got 31's

32's will be coming eventually when these wear out. 32 is as big as I ever wanna go

haha i have 33s with just a torsion bar crank!!

there 33x11.5 tho.
they dont rub at all though even at full lock and even if i drive up curbs and stuff at full lock.
If i get a 3" body i will get new tires but i wont go bigger. i will definitely get a 33x12.5 though..

EDIT: thanks for those pictures btw

Why?

I'm keen on 32's think it's just about right.

x 10.5 or 11.5?

Well the wife has a hard time getting in it as it sits. So 32's will be really pushing it. 33's look nice and all but I want some fender gap and with 33's it takes up more than I would like

That paricular person is a member of Ranger-Forums....and they're not a true 35" tire. They're more like a 34".....metric 35". He has what is described....maxed out bars, 3" BL, sucked inish wheels(like 8" with 5" backspace), and like 315/70r16's or something similar. I don't recall his screen name...maybe shoot a PM to sonic04edge, the one who originally posted that pic here(that's his blue true in the background).

He probably keeps his flares because he still has all his sway bars and doesn't actually twawk the truck out on trails...plus wheel choice helps him there too. Keep valence is easy...just a box cutter away from clearing. Rear axle gets enough articulation, it WILL pound sheetmetal. Shit...I do and I've got 3" lift ontop of him.

Oh because my rims i got are 15x8's and they have 4in backspacing.. and i think 35's would be sick. i'm already planning on taking off my front valence that holds the stock foglights anyway. and i don't do major offroading but when i get the chance some... You think it would work? Im prolly gonna do the chevy drop shackel in the back also while im at it

I think you may be fine....but idk. I found 35's and 3" bl w/ maxed bars to ride a little rougher than I wanted, but otherwise I found the truck to be a perfect size and a nice daily driver(aside from 4.10's and 35's being a total and complete dog). BUT...I was never comfortable enough to actually go play with hte truck on the trail at all. On the street, I rubbed the inner fender at full lock and you probably will too. I would've thrown flares left and right if I had 'em on there iwth my 10's. 4.10s and 35's sucked major ass and if Auto, while it's 'manageable', the trans'll be toast within 50k. The additional wear on the bars being maxed don't help either. I only ran the 35's and the BL because I had the 35's and wheels mounted and knew they somewhat "fit" and was antsy to see 'em on it. A week later the Superlift was under it.

IMO....it's a gamble. It's up to you. It's stuffed. It'll still have stock gears. And 35's aren't comfortable on just a bodylifted truck. I'd much rather prefer a confirmed setup by literally thousands: 33's.
