Default Killing me!

So, the guy that is going to help me put the lift on is out of town for 2 weeks. This means that all the stuff is sitting in my garage until then. I wonder, can I put the 35's on without the lift? I know they will fit the reaer for now but what about up front?

the 35's will technically fit, but u'd have to trim the plastic under the front bumper and u may rub on some heavy bumps. I agree with lew, wait till the lift is done!!!!!!

i would definitely wait.. i hate to say it but patience is a virtue! lol..... if you put these on now they might fit but they would definitely rub over some bumps and turns... that could damage your wheel wells or tire..

I am suprised you can wait to install the lift. My patients is terrible, when I ordered new tires and wheels I practically had my old ones off before the new ones arrived...

The company i went to charged me 600.00 to install my 6" lift. So it all depends on how much u want to pay.

We will be doing it ourselves but, as I said, he is gone for 2 weeks so I was just wondering if I could get away with putting the tires on. You guys answered that though. I am going to wait it out. But............. I am going to put the duck on this week! Will take before and after pics as soon as I get it done. Thanks for all the input.

You need a min. 2" over stock in the front to just barely clear the 35's. Or at least that's the case on a '04 4x4...
