Chart of maximum tire size

Make sure you try using the search function before you ask such simple questions.

Hi, With a three inch lift you should be maxim out at 33's but 31's should be better.
I have 35's with a four inch lift but I did have to trim the front bumper some what to accommodate for tire turning .

Soo just because I dont like poor information for people later on.

First off the original poster has not logged in since thread was made. Its been a few months.

Next OP had a 4x4 truck. These basically come with 31s stock. So 31s and a 3" body lift are a little small.

You did get it right and said the 33s should be max for a bodylift. This is true.


Finally... based on your signature and another post you have made. How do you personally have the only 4" bodylift?

Even at this "4"" bodylift I wouldnt run 35s on a 4x4 let alone a 2wd truck (Granted I now see that you have an edge. So technically the same as 4x4). Anything other than smooth pavement has to hate you.
