35x14.50s on my 99

I have spent a couple hours with the search feature but can't seem to find the answer. I want to fit 35x14.50s on my 99 ext cab flareside. If I get a 3" body lift and something like the Rough Country or Tuff Country 4-5" lift kit will they fit? I do plan on getting the Bushwacker flares too at some point.

Well, several members have fit 38x15.50's using a 10 inch wide wheel and combining a 6 inch Fabtech lift and a 3 inch body lift. So, I'd say you can. If you go with a 6 inch Fabtech, you may be able to fit them without the body lift by doing some trimming. Personally, I'd go with a 6 inch lift and a slightly narrower 35 inch tire.

Does Fabtech make a kit for the 99-03 4x4? I was just on their site and it didn't have anything listed. Just for the 2wd model and other years.

I've listed that whole pile for $1000.

almost all replaced parts too its weird nobody wants it.
4.88's in the front diff, 1 new cv, 2 new wheel bearings, newer balljoints, new tie-rods for the most part and a new idler arm.

No, Fabtech only makes the 6 inch lift for the 97-03 4x4's. They did make a set of 3.5 inch lift spindles for the 97-03 4x2's.

I'm kinda torn what route I want to take. My truck is getting up there in miles now, so I really don't want to spend a boatload on mods. I like the Rough Country setup for the price. And if I add a 3" body lift I think I could get it sit the way I want..... hmm...

Have you been happy with the quality of the lift? I am pretty certain that is the route I am going.

Wow Klitch I'd be all over that too if I was closer, that's a hell of a deal

That rough country kit looks good, thats the one I would get.. but I don't really need anything bigger than 35's on a daily driver. Theres a few people on here that have it, legorreta has it on his..heres a link with some pics
