2 wheel drive? and wheels set out as in out past the fender well?? with a 3 inch lift you'll only be able to clear 33's.. you'll need atleast a 5 inch lift.. a 4x4 sits 2 inches higher then a 2x4.. and it takes a 3 inch lift atleast to clear 35's with rubbing on a 4x4

6 inch meaning 6 inch body or could i put a 3 inch suspension lift as well to get the height needed to clear 35s

i don't recomend putting a body lift bigger then 3 inches...i don't think anyone makes one bigger then 3 inches either...but anyways, if you just want to fit 35's the easiest and sure way would be a 3 inch body lift and a 3 inch suspension lift.....you might be able to fit 35's if you put a 2" leveling kit and a 3 inch body lift....but i don't know about that...

The general rule of thumb is it takes 5" of lift to clear 35"s and thats with a 4wd truck. The 2wd's are lower so it will take more than that. My 01 4wd with a 3" lift and 33"s rub when I hit a bump at full lock. Now it's due to my wide wheels and how they stick out. If I had differn't wheels even I'm not sure I could clear 35"s without rubbing and I know I couldn't on these wheels although I've been wanting to try it anyway. Now I seriously doubt since my setup is like this that you could clear anywhere near a 35" with a 3" lift and I think 33"s would rub with a 3" lift but they may not.

on factory wheels (or factory offset) you can fit 35's with just a 3 inch lift on a 4x4 but will rub some at full turn. you can fit a 35 on factory wheels with some rubbing on a 2x4 with a 5 inch lift

you CAN fit 35's on a dodge with NO lift. You'll rub, but it can be done. I have 35's on mine. and theres NO lift
