35" tires?
My ram right now has 285/75/16 tires with no lift and no rubbing. I was wondering how much of a lift is required to clear 35" BFG Mud Terrain or similar tires on the truck. Can this be done with a leveling kit, or is a full suspension lift needed? The truck also currently has 3.55 gears. Would it be necessary to change the gears out to 4.10's to keep the truck as streetable as it is now? The truck sees primarily street use with occasional mud.

RE: 35" tires?
I'm going to say you won't know until you do it. I have basically the same make/model as you but different year, and I have 285/75/16 and I experience rubbing when turning sharp to the left. Unless it is because of the fact your 285's are bald and mine are relatively new, I'd say it's going to be hard to predict what's going to happen.

I have an 01 Offroad edition ram and I have 35"s on stock Sport rims. Mine will rub at full lock on the trailing arms. Now if I were to stuff the tire up into the fender it will probably rub on everthing under there but I don't offroad it so I really don't have to worry about that.
