Default lift for 35's clearance

Im getting a good deal on 35x12.5x20 tires but i know for sure it wont fit stock suspension.. i was looking for a 6 inch lift but the truck wont fit in the garage and theres no place outside.. question is with a 3 inch lift will i be able.to fit 35's

This is how it stands right now will a body lift do the job?

I believe alot of people fit those with a 3 inch lift, I have a 4.5 in lift with 35's and I rub just a little after a fair amount if trimming of the front valance.

Good luck fitting in your garage with a 3" and 35's... I only had about 3/4" clearance with a 3" and 33's on my old truck.

Awesome buy on the tires! Are you mounting them on those HD wheels or something else?

I am running stock Lightning wheels with 35" Mud Grapplers and am rubbing a little. Once I level it out, should be good to go. And I'm about 1.5" from not fitting in my garage
