Question 6" front lift, 3" rear

I have a 3 inch body lift on a 98 4x2, and in a few weeks I'm getting a 3 inch spindle lift added to the front, but I'm leaving the rear with only the body lift. Right now I have 285/75's on there. Will 35's fit with the additional spindle lift? Also, does anyone besides pro comp make a 315/75r16?? Thanks in advance!

Let me get this straight your only lifting the front of your truck??????? Anyway 35's should fit with only the body lift if you want to do a little trimming.

Hey I can actually help you here. I had the Spindles on and ordered the Body lift and 35's to go along with it. I was planning the same thing you are. Well $1,300.00 and 12 hours later, the 35's would not fit.

I'll tell you from experience that 35's WILL NOT fit with the Spindles and a body lift. ( Without Major Trimming ) The solution I came up with was to add coil spacers to the front AND trim a little metal behind the Wheel well liner so that when they rub ( And They Do Rub ) they only rub the plastic liner not any metal. My advise is to save your pennies and get the Fabtech A-Arms and Coils too. That's what I wanna do.

thanks a ton for your reply, I will take your word for it. If I go with the spindle lift I guess I'll just upgrade to 295/75, which isn't much bigger. Thanks again!
