Default How big of a tire can I go?

Guys, 2002 Dodge Durango 4.7L. Been running 32" tires on it now at stock height and they were rubbing a little so I threw in a 3 inch performance accesories body lift. Now no rubbing at all. I'm gonna be putting the 2 inch torsion keys in soon and I know I can run 33" tires no problem with those. But I really wanna throw some 35" tires on it, its very rare you see a Durango with 35" tires lol. Any way I can make that work? And an official way, no half assing anything, I want it to be official. Suggestions anyone?

I ran 33's with a 3" body lift and the torsion bars cranked to get 2 more inches of lift and the 33's were pushing it.

To run 35's, I would say you need a clean 6" of lift. Meaning cranking the torsion bars or installing the keys will never get you that.

Check my link out below. I run 35's now, but I have 8 1/2" lift going.

for one buying new torsion keys is like buying a throttle body spacer. you dont need to. just crank the ones on it now and put the shackles on and you'll be able to fit the 33's no problem. but like fire pro said you need more that that for 35s. you have a 2002 so i dont know what lifts they have for you. look for a suspension lift but be warry if you ever plan to go off road. suspension lifts are ment for on road mainly

1998 5.5" Tough Country, custom add a leaf rear, Glassworks fenders and a lot of trimming to the cab side and still rub. No body lift. Had body lift on a Chevy I bought and it rip through the cab. Be warned. Your limited with IFS.
