Default will 35s look too small..

ok so im making progress, i got the torsion bars cranked on my 1500 with 20 inch rockstars and 35 inch nitto mud grapplers. next is the lift. i'm definitely doing a 5 inch rough country suspension lift, but i'm contemplating adding a 3 inch body lift to it. But i don't want to lift it so high that the 35's look to small. any feedback?

Your truck should look about like Dedogg's. He has a 3" bodylift with the stock 33" tires. 35" tires with a 6" suspension lift looks just about right. Maybe just a little bit smaller than dedogg's truck.

Stick with the just suspension and 35" tires.

X3^ You will like living with the truck day to day better if you don't get it too tall,plus you will really need to start thinking about re-gearing if you get into too big of a tire or your truck won't be able to get out of it's own way.

in my opinion, the 35's are on the verge of looking small with just a 6" lift. I've contemplated going 37's with the 6" but dont wanna kill my IFS.

As everyone else has said, just do 5" suspension. Or do 8" with 37's and regear
