Default 35" tire question

will 35x12.5R16.5 interco tsl thornbird tires fit on a 3" body lifted truck or will the side lugs on the tires rub to much?

I think the consensus is any 35 will fit but will touch the frame on full lock. Body lift doesnt help with the frame, but you will clear the body more than well enough. With torsion bars cranked the body clears 35s.

well i currently just have a 3" block in back with tbars maxed and i used to have 35" pro comps all terrain, i just didnt know if this aggressive tread on the thornbirds would be to much. im running 295's at the moment with no issue. my 3" BL by PA is in the mail
