I decided I want a lift 2.5" to 4" and i'm going to be throwing on 35's on there. Can anybody post some pics with a small lift and 35's so I can see what i'm looking at here?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I think i win for smallest front lift with 35's :lmao:
It was just about on the bumpstops.
But really, You will probably want to do a 3 inch suspension lift and at least a 1 inch body lift. Anything less than that, you are going to have to trim and pound a lot. You will still need to trim either way but it will be less if you do more body lift. I have about 3 inches of lift up front, 2 inch body lift, cut fenders, pounded firewall back. It still rubs.

A little more work than I was hoping for :/ I think i'll go with 33's and a 3 inch lift. There shouldn't be any rubbing with that right? Or at least if there is, a lot less work to get rid of.

Thank you! I think I'm just gonna do a 3" suspension and 33's. Hopefully that will work better
One day i'll do the 35's but for now, Ballin on a budget.

Yeah, it's a lot of work, but that article is my inspiration. I'm morally opposed to body lift, even though I often think about how much easier it would make things

I've been preparing for 35's for the last couple of weeks. I have limited flares to work around, and the only spot I see as an issue is the front wheel wells, in the back near where the running boards were. When I turn, it will be 3 cms from rubbing 35's. Leaves me essentially no room to flex. I will need to get my BFH and go to work some more. Also need to install better front springs.
Fitting 35's simply put, is a PITA.

I can see that. It seems worth it. I will do it eventually but for now, I don't have the time, nor the money. Plus, I like my flares to much

Haha! I've already used a mallet. Maybe that's my problem, I'm not using a sledgehammer. And my sawzall is my best friend
I love the brand on that hammer though, "YO HO!! GTFO!"
However, in some places, I've been substituting a grinder instead of the sawzall.

I'm jealous of your rig man. I had a 98 the same color and had the stupidity to sell it last year

If I wasn't running my adapters pushing my 16x8's and 305 's out to a final et of about 3 1/8, I could probably run 35's now. The gutted limited flares work wonders for clearance. My up travel is what hurts me without having a body lift. I have already had to chop my inner fender as well. Took about 3/4-1" and I'm only on 33's...
Oh and not 35's but here are 305's with no lift and a lot of weight in the trunk.
