you can run almost any size tire on pretty much anything. but do you want to trim the fenders? I dont think they would fit with out triming.

you can run any tire size....sawzall makes anything fit...



gonna gear swap?

give us something to work with. Generally, 40's DO NOT belong on a ranger that isn't axle swapped front and rear...

nah, skyjacker makes an 8" for any of the ttb rangers... so gen 1,2, and 3. but if he has a gen 3 with that he could prolly get em to fit without using a sawzall. i wouldn't run a tire that big on a d35 front.

what gears are ya gonna put in? how about motor size? tranny? do ya know what axles you have?

i'm gonna be running 37's on my truck with a 6" suspension and 3" body lift. but i wouldn't go any bigger period on the d35 front end.

Believe me, Cory's got way more than 11". More like 13" suspension PLUS the 3" bodylift.
