I have a 99 2wd and plan on lifting it 6", so 6" front and 4" rear. I'm saving right now so I can get most of the things at once. Well I really loved the look of foxhound's truck.

I'm going for a pre-runner look, getting a metal bumper and the fenders he had, etc. I'm also planning on getting the rear bulging ones..well I'm wondering with the lift and the fenders if 35s would look to small? I love the red letter tires but they don't come in 37s...So if it was you would you go with 35s or 37s? And if 37s what would be a nice pre-runner looking tire? But Ill be taking it on trails and occasional mud. Maybe a desert trip once or twice a year

Post 115 has the pic of his fenders with the 35s. His is 4wd and said the suspension lifted it around 3"

He also had a mid travel system. If your just gonna be a pavement ponder you could get away with 37's. But if you plan to play any I would go with 35's. Just make sure you regear.

 

Well I might go to a desert like once a year or do something similar but idk because it would be a long trip since I'm in South Carolina.

With the 6" and fenders how close do you think the 37s will be? And should I go bigger for 37s? I'll be gearing for sure! 4.56 or 5.13s? I would like same city power with minimal loss of op end

 

If you choose 37's go with 4.88's. If you go with 35's go with 4.56's.

 

its not a question of what will fit, its a question of how much your gonna break.

 

If ur gunna run 37s ur gunna have to trim I have 37s with 4inch flared fenders and cranked t-bars I used to have a 6inch lift but took it off and had to trim the cab here's a pic with the lift in it tho but your gunna wanna re gear for the 37s

 

IMO if you're gonna drop that much money might as well go long/mid travel and get the real stuff

 

SoCal - So when you had the 6" lift and fenders you had to trim to fit 37s? And mine is a 2wd so it will prob be 2" lower than yours. I like how the tire look on your truck, so on a 2wd you think the 37s would just look oversized? And where in the world did you get 37" grabbers? I have been looking everywhere

Blakers - i want to but will prob wait a few more years cause its around 3500 more for a travel kit than the lift and I won't be jumping it

 

When the I had the lift kit I didn't have to trim but now that it lower I had to trim and the tires are the non dot race tire and there on national back order but I know a few people who are sponsored by them but there still a bitch to get ill post a pic of the truck with out the lift later tho and where u need to trim

 

Here's where u need to trim and that's what it looks like on stock ride height with the 37s and fenders
