Default Could i fit 35's?

Suppose i put a 3" body lift, with a 2" Torsion lift. Would i be able to fit 35's on my truck, and if so would it be ok to take it off roading?

You would rub on the frame rails and you would stand a good chance of snapping your cv shafts with that size tire. You would do much better to slap some 33's on there. You would still get some rub on the frame rails but it wouldn't be nearly as bad.

You may want to post in your thread instead of my profile.

I think you would have to get a 5" suspenion lift like the tuff country but to be honest that is a **** poor lift.

Hey, I've been leafing through this forum for a few hours now and I have a few questions about tire sizes too. I have an 03 SXT 4.7, and I wanted a new set of wheels and tires. I dont want to go any bigger than a 16"- 18" wheel. I want a beafy tire, good for mud and sand, but still somewhat tolerable on the highway. but am not sure how big of a tire I can put on a 16" wheel without rubbing issues....the truck is not currently lifted, but i am thicking about it.

Just keep in mind the thicker the tire the less stable it will be

I was reading about a 5" lift and it was still claiming 33's for it.
here

I also read something about offset rims? with those and the a lift they claimed some models can get 35's... they just didn't say what models could.

There's nothing wrong with the hemi. Just the MDS. I can only imagine that technology is a real problem for some people. It'll get better if people will allow it to.
