Here ya go legendkiller, 35x16 on a 16x10. Hes got a dana 60 and 14 bolt though, and 16" wheels, so a little different, but close to the same.








He's got a build thread on PS, but hasn't updated in eons. Its "the last minute prom date II - build up"

Micky Thompson Classic Lock II's.
And I'm gonna get the 15x10 rims. Tires will stick out pretty far I might need to look into some fender flares.

I wouldn't bother with the fender flairs, unless you are going for the look.

I had a set (due to the legal issue of the tires sticking out) and they didn't do diddly for keeping mud/rocks off the paint. And sense I don't personally like the look of them as much as the stock look, I sold them for MUCH less than I paid for them once I changed wheels.

If you like the looks of flairs then great, but if you are purchasing them to prevent dirt from getting thrown on your truck, don't bother. After all, your getting boggers for a reason right

Haha you sir are correct . I don't mind flares but I don't want them on my truck I would only buy flares if I get trouble from the cops... they are ok about it. My tires right now stick out about 2'' and I have had cops follow me and never have a problem. I'll probably be ok.

Ok... here's another question mineaswell add it here instead of a new thread. I am gonna buy the TopGunCustomz 5'' lift kit. I am thinking of adding a 3'' body lift on it. I know people normally frown on the idea of 8'' and 35's but do you think it would look ok seeings how the tires will be 15-16'' wide? And plus they would be sticking out past the body??

Reason I say that is because if I decide to try rockcrawling up at mccasslin it would give me bit more clearance. Just repeat lol how do you guys think it would look?

I would run 37" tires. Silver had a 6" total 3" sus and 3" body on 35" it looks ok.

The tires will look somewhat small with 8", but with the width they will look damn good (at least in my opinion, but I like alot of extra room).

A small tip for the lift. Call them and offer them a price. It saved me 42 bucks on a 3" lift.
