He's only got a body-lift, not a suspension setup too.

To answer your question, yea, 35's will look a little tiny. You should definately go with 37's.

You can clear 37's on 6''s of lift on the 4x4's. Nitto has a total of 6''s of lift on his truck so he had to do some very minor trimming of his wheel well, which he did mostly for more articulation room for his off roading in colorado. You can easily clear 37's on 7''s of lift and with 8.5''s you could probably clear 38x14.5's if you desired. There used to be a guy that had a fabtech 6'' susp w/3'' BL and he stuffed 38x15.5 toyo mt's his truck.

Yeah I had to do a little trimming with a 3" body lift, 3" rear add-a-leaf and 3" torsion keys. But if you do a 5.5" suspension lift and a 3" body you will clear them fine with the right offset wheels. And if I was you I would limit my lift to a 4" suspension and a 3" body that way you will have better angles on your front end. And you can still clear 37" with that setup.

Nitto I have said it before and I am saying it again, you have the toughest looking truck on the forum.

Yeah, I remember him. He had a black 1500. Definflicka? Something like that. I have searched for him, but he hasn't been back since this site had the face lift.
