3 Inch Body and 35x14.50 16.5 tires

Im looking to go with a body lift and 35x14.50 16.5 Hawgs mounted on 9.75x 16.5 wheels. But with the 16.5 I will not be able to air down. Swamper has a TSL 36x13 16, would the one inch be a problem. Prety sure Swampers run small. But it would be on a 10 inch wide wheel. Any one have knowlage of this fit?

35x12.50's are a tight fit. I dont think a 14.50 with tire will fit.

no way with just a body lift is a 35"- 14" going to fit unless you start cutting sheet metal and rubing on the torsion bars and front controll arm, with a 6" suspension lift it will fit

Thanks, never thought of the t-bars rubbing..... What did you have to cut for the 38's to work? Your truck looks great and it looks like you use it for what its for.

to get the 38" 15.5" to fit i have the 6" fabtech lift with the 3" body lift, torsion bars cranked, 2" add a leafs in the rear, had to use a sawzall to cut some of the rear part of the front fenderwells, and even then if i crank the steering wheel all the way to the right it will rub on the torsion bar so i just cant turn it lock to lock, there is no way i could posibly get anything bigger than what i got now unless i get more lift

The first truck i was gonna buy had a 3" body lift with 36 by 14.50 on it. The only problem i heard wen i drove it was the tirers rubbing wen i turned. So u should beable to fit 35" but might just have to go wit 12.5 wide tires. Right now i have 33 by 12.5 mudterrains on a stock 99 supercab and theres no rubbing at all.
