35's with just a torsion bar crank?

id be awfully weary about that. youre definitely gonna get a lot of rubbing. more than likely gonna need to do some trimming in the wheel well. off roading, forget about it.

Youre best bet would be 33's. They will look good, and with stock gears, youll still have a pretty decent ride.

^^^^the small picture of my truck in my sig. has 35x12.5x17's with a 6in fabtech. Couldnt imagine stuffing a 35 with only about 2 inches of lift in the front.

I really have no idea what i need, but i got a buddy who had kmc monsters 18x9 8x6.5 4.53 BS and another set that is 18x9 6x135/6x5.5 4.53 BS, which one should i get? He also has a couple sets of 20s, which is what came stock with my truck i have now. Think 18s, or 20s would look best?

so ya think 20" wheels should be fine, with 35" tires, and will give it a "lifted" look with no problems?

Well first off if anyone was going to be doing some hard core off roading they wouldn't do it it a IFS truck! I have a torsion lift with 3" body and have 37" tires that do great on and off the road! And yes 35" will fit with just a torsion lift, lots of people have them! The dodges with the 20" wheels come with a 33" tire stock so you would only be going up one tire size! You might have to get a heat gun and remold the plastic wheel well, but thats a $15.00 mod you can do by yourself!
