35`s with torsion bars cranked?

I have a 97 f150 4x4 and heard of other guys on here running 35`s with just the torsion bar cranked. Will i have alot of rubbing if i do this if it is even possible? And would i need to add more blocks in the back? I have 16X8 wheels and was thinking about getting 315/75r16 tires.
Thanks any replies or pics will be helpfull!

That's one nice truck above!

Depending on how aggresive the tread is on the tires you might need to trim. I didn't have to trim anything. The tread wasn't very aggresive on the tires.

If you search there are other on here too that have 35" on stock rims. Mine are 17" rims I would assume you having 16 wouldn't matter much. Could be wrong though.

Possible on stock wheels of wheels with stock backspacing. But if the treads really aggressive or you change up the wheels it'll probably have some rubbing.

I have 16x8.5" wheels and my tires don't rub at all. I use to have 315/70-17's on the stock wheels and they rubbed the frame alittle at full lock.
