Default 6" lift run 35's?

If i were to put a 6" fabtech suspension lift with a 3" body lift on my 2wd you think i could run a 20x12.5 wheel with 35" tires? What gears would you recommend?

Yes that would work. Are you sure you want to do this with a 2 wheel drive? And as far as gears go, definitely 4.88.

Pretty sure, im just weighing my options, you think a 20x8.5 wheel with a 35" tire would look goofy?

I think 9" of lift with 35s would look goofy.

I think 20" rims are way too big on a 35" tire, but it depends on the look you are going for... I have 16" rims with 37" tires but if you want that "street" truck look (which is what you're going for presumably it being a 2wd and all) then go for it... Personally wouldn't do it to a 2wd but if you do I agree with Fubba on the gears, could probably get away with 4:11's though...

look at what i got on my profile.....it a 5.5 inch fabtech suspension. 20 X 12.5 wheels with 35s toyos.....i have more than enough room. forget the body lift. i could probably run 37s with the proper spacing. one thing i wish is that i didnt have the 20 inch wheels though. id rather go with 17 or 18s. and iim running 4.56/4.55 gears....its the perfect combination for 35s

Too small a tire with that much lift.
