I have a 6in zone and a 3in body. Do not do 35s would b way to small I'm run 37s and they look small. But overall great lift. I drove all the time and tow a bobcat or mowers 3-4 times a week and no problem at all. I have enough room for 38s all day. I might even try 40s

Top 5 mods to make your truck more offroad capable...
1. Lift for ground clearance
2. bigger tires size depending on your gear ratio and if your going to regear or not
3. lockers or at least a limited slip, 90% of the time more traction will get you places more than a lift and tires.
4. winch or a buddy with a good tow strap.
5. skid plates if you dont already have the offroad package.
just my .02

i found out i have axle code 19 which is 3.55 open diff. i would like the re gear with lsd or lockers but i dont know the pricing. i never installed gears but seems as if i could do it myself

i would like to consider them in my build if its not too much. i can do most stuff myself but i never swaped gears or diff before not scared to try for first time if i can do it with tools i have.
what would you do if you were ordering 35s and had same truck as mine? i have 3.55 open gears 4.2 v6

is lug centric fine? or is the hub centric better? i always thought the wheel needed to be centered on the hub so it was tru. but if the lug centric works ill go with them
