35s are NOT gonna fit with a 3" body lift. Well "technically" they're fit. But if you hit a pothole, your tires are goin' to eat sheet metal. I'm talkin' from experience here. Not concept or "logic".

yes so if i wanted to and i let say spaced the bumber put a block they would fit without hitting wouldnt they but now what truck are you saying from experiance cause not all year trucks are the same and idk if your corect on that cause lifting the body did not alter the suspention in any way as fo if i raised the suspention i would have to worry about the distance of travel

a block isn't gonna stop you from rubbing the front fenders. You can fit 35s in the back easy. Its up front where you're going to have the issue. And with all the "distance of travel" BS... 3" body lift and 35s... if your tires go up at all, they're gonna hit. I'm talkin' like an inch.

yeah actualy wrong if you like you said make the wheel stop an inch which is posible but would be totaly stupid to do but yes if you change the distance from the where the axle hits the ruber stopper to lets say your little term an inch aka weld in a block or something and i went out side and measured my fender and the distance it opens on mine is 36 inchs give or take and inch so depending on what size width of the tires yes it will fit do i have to go out and spent money just to shoh you it will just because you got a 95 does not mean you have an 87

what im trying to say is by lifting the suspention by x is the same as lifting the body by x but one is cheaper why cant you agree on that this whole post was about could i fit it with a body kit not thats wrong this is right cause nobody is on here is right they get luck . . . figure this question out my truck doesnt start i put the key in and turn it but dont crank it has power but doesnt turn . . do you know what is exactly wrong no but you can say well trace the lines put the ohm meter on it if it has power have the starter tested if starter is good then check the soleniod but you cant just say well yeah its deff the starter nobody can and if they do and it is its luck cause it could have been a disconected wire . . and 88 f250 f150 suspention or heavy dutty 350 suspention just currious

when you say that 35s will fit on a stock f150's lift, but rub the fenders, then that doesn't mean they fit lol

1. Fit- the manner in which something fits;
- Example: "I admired the fit of her coat"
