Default Clearing 35s

im getting 35s for my truck, can i clear them without doing anything or do i need a body lift? also how will they affect my power? my truck is a 4.6 with true duals and an edge programmer.

You can put 35s on with your torsion bars cranked all the way. You may need to trim the valance some and you will rub at fulllock on the frame unless you have rims with smaller backspacing.

You'll lose a decent amount of power... 4.6s are pretty gutless. My 5.4 and programmer and 35s is still faster than stock. I've been in a 4.6 with 35s and it's alot slower than my truck. If your worried about power loss, don't go bigger than a 33" tire.. or be ready to drop coin on regearing.
