has any one tried to put 35s on a 2nd gen with only a 3 inch body lift?

 

I don't think anyone has. Some say it is possible. I would say you still need more lift. Lift keys and blocks or so for 2 more inches. Test it out for us.

 

I have 35" tires on my 2000 dodge dakota quad cab , but without any lifts .
I turned up the torsion bars and removed a little bit of unwanted body metal and front bumper . I do get tire rub when I turn all the way to left or right but if u can control the way u drive and just dont turn the steering wheel all the way then its fine but if u do all that happens is the tire touches the chassis a bit nothing to complain about . I have 35" buckshot tires on the original rims .

 

Well let see some pics!

 

some problem uploading picture , but there is a picture in the photo gallery its the black dodge dakota inside my workplace.

 

Try uploading them to a 3rd party site like photobucket and them copy/paste them into your posts.

 

im a big fan of hte trucks in your albums man.
i love hte massive balloon tires with limited lift

 

Are the big tires for driving on ice? To disperse the load more...

 

snow, pretty much same reason yea

 

yes it is useless trying to drive in snow if u dont have large tires , when driving in snow u let most of the air out so that the car floats on top of the snow. 35" tires in a truck this size dont have a lot of say in heavy snow but in everything else they do just fine . The trucks in my album are not mine but they are all cars in iceland . The point in having the car as low as u can , is so the center of gravity is lower and the ride better and the car can drive in a more of a slant then if the its center of gravity is high . In iceland there are rules and regulations on how u raise and modify your truck . They include rules like no body lift higher the 3" and u have to have fender flares so that your tires dont stick out etc , pretty strick rules but make the roads save and keep cars thar are not road worthy of the roads .
