how high do i have to lift for 35's?

hi folks,

my 2001 screw is a 4x4 with oem suspension. i have 33's on there now and
they only rub once in a while on the rears agaisnt the bed if i start flexing
too much.

i'd like to get to 35 inch tires, in your group wisdom, how high do i have to
lift my rig to get them to fit? can i get away with a 4" or do i have to goto 6"?

note that i have already replaced my front bumper with a reunel unit
so front clearance with oem bumper isnt a problem.

thx in advance, jackc...

I actually think u could squeez in 35's with a 3 inch body lift and crank the torsion bars. Personaly i would go with the 4 or six inch it will look a little better six inch will look best

Right, you can fit 35x12.50's with a 3 inch body lift. If you want a suspension lift, I'd go with the 5 inch RCD or 6 inch Fabtech lift.

35's will fit no prob. with 3" it just depends on how much $ you want to spend. for the lift.

Didn't I read somewhere that you could fit 35's with just a daystar 2.5?
