I've been searching the last few days.. and have not been able to find the exact answers im looking for, so be easy on the search stuff. haha. Anyhow, winters around here are diminishing (Vermont) and I decided yesterday to sell my snowmobile. I got 2k for it. I plan on spending all of that money on my truck. I already have the exhaust, intake, system, 33" LTZ's, Torsion bars cranked, tonneau cover, etc. I have all of the simple bases covered.

I would really like to spend this money on a 3" PA Lift and 35/12.5/20's Particularly the Nitto Trail Grapplers.

Now for my concerns: I have running boards, and plan on buying the rear inner fenders, with a 3" body, how much frame/underside is gonna be showing?

2nd: Vermont rodes get pretty bad certain times of year, but i would not be offroading this thing rediculously or anything. I know that the tires will fit the rims, however, with the body lift, am i gonna be tearing my fenders off or anything? it's pretty much a pavement queen, I just have a pretty rough driveway.

Also, a link to the cheapest body lift would be cool, if anyone can help me out there. i found one for about $360. PA.

Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

Heres a 3 inch body lift with 305/55/20 tires or 315 cannot remember... now i have 35"/12.5/17
its gives you an idea for behind the running boards. But the kit i got came with inner fender extentions and bumper brackets. You cannot tell unles you go under and look at the mounts

 

You won't have any frame showing at all with rear fender liners.

Here is a before and after of the fender liners-

 

Agreed, you can buy the Mopar ones (it looks like that's what 'Froggy has), get the PA ones (a little less decorative) or just make your own out of plastic of heavy black rubber for next to nothing.

I bought my first set from PA for my first body lifted truck years ago, saw what they were and just made them out of rubber shop floor mats after that...

 

Okay, I ordered it all just now. However, just read something while searching back. I have the stock 20's on my 04. 4x4. I bought the Nitto Trail Grapplers 35/12.5-20's. Am I going to need spacers?

 

Anyone?

 

Yes I believe you will need spacers. I have almost that exact setup (PA Body and 35x25.5x17 Nitto Trail) and I almost went with stock rims. I think you will want at least 1.5" spacers.

 

Well if I do infact need them, where is the cheapest place to get some?

 

You should clear, there is a little bit more room on the torsion bar front 4x4s than the '06+ coil overs...

 

Thanks for that Hammer, I didn't think I would.
