I have an '05 Lariat 4x4; all stock. I want to fit 35s but don't want to spent a ton of money on a lift. I can't decide between a 3" skyjacker or a 4" rough country. I know a 6" is best but it's too expensive for me. Just want to make sure I can get the clearance.

Also, I'm keeping the stock wheels and can't decide between 295/70/R18 nitto trail grapplers, or 325/65/R18 pro comp extreme a/t. Both 35" but the nittos are only 11.5" wide so I'd need wheel spacers to make them stick out past the fenders...I like their aggressive tread though. Also not sure if the pro comp would fit on stock rims since they're almost 13" wide. Any input or pictures would be great...

 

You can fit 35x12.50's by using a 2 or 2.5 inch leveling kit and the OEM wheels. The 325/65-18's (33x13.00) are just too wide for the OEM 7.5 inch wide wheels. I would not go with the 3 inch Skyjacker kit because it is just a set uf longer coilover shocks up front which will leave the ball joints at too severe of an angel to last. So I would choose the 4 inch RC lift over it without a doubt.

 

break out the sawzall.... problem solved!!!
