Lightbulb AS 2.5" and PA 3" BL

Just a quick question for anyone. I have an 06 SCREW XLT 4x4. I was curious if I put a 3" Performance Accessories Body Lift on with the 2.5" leveling kit can I run 35x12.5x17's? I want someone to confirm this if possible before I order the wheels and put the lift on. Thanks. Here is the truck now.

Yes you can, but you need to stick with stock rims or have aftermarket rims with very similiar specs.

I think you will be fine with that width, but the key factor will be backspacing. Factory is 5.5". I think 4.5" will cause some rubbing.

The 17x9 is a Mickey Thompson Classic II with 5.5" of backspacing. From what I hear and read they will go around the calipers fine.

I have a friend that has the 2.5 in daystar and 3 in P/A body lift on a 04 SCREW and is rolling 18x9 moto metal 951(4.5 in backspace) and 35x12.50/18 nitto mud grapplers and it doesnt rub at all. I myself am getting my 04 SCAB FX4 back from a shop in corpus christi. Already had the daystar and just had the 3in body lift installed. Next I will install rims and tires with the same specs(dont know what style yet) and I'll let you know how it turns out!
