will 35x12.50's rub on stock rims with a 3 " lift? How about power loss? How much is there?

Thanks for the answers in advance.

How you planning on getting the 3" of lift? Reason I ask is hopefully you're not going with a 3" leveling kit, if so don't. 3" body lift is alright.

Anyways, if you're a 4WD you won't have any issues with a 35x12.50 on stock wheels after adding 3" of lift. What stock gears do you have? If you have the 3.55's like I did, you will definitely notice a difference especially towing anything or going up steep hills. Your truck will constantly be gear searching. I stepped up to 4.56's and regained everything I lost.

I already put on 3" leveling kit from fat bob's garage. I really do not think that the cv joints are stressed though, they have very little angle on them.

So the 35 x 12.50's do not rub at full turn and how do I find out what gears do i have?
