With 1.5 daystar leveling kit and BFG AT 265/75/16

About to add 3 inch spindle lift in the front and 3.5 blocks in the back and determining how big of tires to clear. Any suggestions??

If the spindles give u a wider wheel base then sweet u can put a bigger tire and won't hit ur frame u might be able to get a 35 under there

If you search there are alot of treads on this that arent show off/pic threads. With that said no a 35 probably wont fit unless you have stock wheels. I have the setup you are asking about but with a 3" block. It sat level when first installed but has settled to about 0.75" tail high again. I run 305/70/16(33x12) on aftermarket 16*8's and i had to trim the lower valence corner to not rub.

If you have an aftermarket wheel you should have more of an offset intern when u turn your wheel there's a less likely chance of rubbing? I understand what your saying but your wheels offset has a lot to do with the wat you can clear. My valence will be taken off because I'm puttin a tube bumper on the front.

My wheels have 4.5"s of backspacing,same as stock but with 0.5" wider wheel it pushes everything 0.5"s out. So that combined with about 1-1.5" wider width because of the spindles means my tires are about 2"s farther out on each side. So yes my tires are very far from the frame and suspension components but moving it away from the frame pushes the tires closer to the outside edge of the fender. That puts the leading edge of the valence and outside edge of the back of the fender in the way.

Add in an extra 2"s of diameter and 0.5" of width and you can get yourself in trouble. With fresh springs and stock wheels(which arent the greatest thing to run 12.5" tires on) and maybe a little trimming of the inner fenderwell in the rear and you might be ok. Keep in mind most companies offer 6" lifts for 35s,which is generous, but even at fresh install with new springs you're only at 4.5"s of lift.

Should get some bump fenders too, should look sharp. Are you doing a pre runner skid plate thing, or a redneck hank of pipe bumper?
