Default 3 inch lift 35s?

hey guys i have a 96 ram sport and i have 35 12.50 tires i want to put on it but havent ordered the lift yet because i dont know which one to get... i was wondering if any of you all knew if a 3 inch rough country lift would clear 35s or if anyone had any pictures of what it might look like to give me an idea

Generally, five inches is suggested for 35's. If you don't off-road AT ALL, you could prolly get away with three.

You need 5 inches to be able to fully flex with 35. Also, if you go with a lift kit, spend the extra money and get a long arm kit. Otherwise your axles will move "backward" out of perfect geometry.

3" PA body, 1" pucks and add-a-leafs w/ 35s. Just had to trim a tiny bit of fender well plastic for no rub at full lock. I MISS this truck!!!
