Default 3" front 2" rear leveling kit

I just ordered a 3" front and 2" rear leveling kit? My issue is all the trucks I see with 6" lifts are only running 35's. Are 35's on 20" going to clear.

They'll clear but you may have some rubbing. Also with the 3" level you're gonna be going through ball joints like nothing.

Thank you is there anything I can do to keep the 3" and not go through ball joints.

No.. you need new spindles that drop it all back to where its supposed to be.. like what you get with a 4 or 6 inch lift.

What techrep said. I have the HBS 3" and the ball joints are pretty stretched. I looked for aftermarket spindles that are longer but can't seem to find them withouth buying the whole lift.

It'll get me by until I can bite the bullet for the actual lift.

I've installed a 3"F - 2"R leveling kit and added some 35" tires - like NAMEDHEROKSANA you will some some small rubbing. So will need to cut the rubber from the below part of the bumber and the rubber from the fender behind the tire. After I did this - the tire had NO rubbing...........
hope this helps

I can't remember who, I think it was zone, says their 6" lift clears 37s. Could be mistaken though. No idea what's so different about their inches than everyone else's haha.

Maybe if their whole weel weel was trimmed out. From all that I can see, Zone and RCX are right about the same damn thing.

RCX is one of the cheaper lifts. with their 6" all they give is a 2" spacer. everything else is the same as their 4" kit.
