Default 35's

How could i make 35's fit on my 2000 4x4 without spending a lot of money, and without jacking it way up? I just want enough clearance for the tires

3 inch body lift if your not doing any serious offroading

Id say spend the money on a suspension lift. Or at least do keys and blocks and only 1 inch body.

no lift will fit 35's i had them on mine and offroaded it weekly with the torsion bars cranked of course although here in florida there not much flexing but if your looking for flex u need a solid axel truck. Imo f150 only look good with 35's because it properly fill the fenders. Right now ive got some 36's and there not rubbing at all even with my torsion bars cranked back down

4 inch with 35s will look good, you can clear a narrow 35 with a T bar crank, or a decent width 35 with aftermarket torsion keys.

I had 325/70/r17s on my Scab with a 6 inch fabtech and it was perfect.

you can fit 35's with the torsion bars cranked.

stock wheels not aftermarket, but it will rub a full wheel lock

I have the 35x12.50 nitto mud grapplers on an 18. Think that would fit with cranking the t bars? And also i heard raising the t bars makes your truck ride like a brick and is really hard on joints

i doubt the would. but if you already have them, crank them up put the tires on and if it doesnt work take them off and reverse your procedure you performed.

yes it will ride like a brick.

actually my truck ran smoother with 24'' of lift rather than when i had 36's and the T-bars cranked JFYI

I'd go 3" Bosy with a little torsion bar crank using stock keys.
