Cool Body lift

I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 4wheel drive with trx4 package. I've got a leveling kit with 33x12.50's. I'd like to put 35's on it and was wondering if anyone knew if i could use a 3" body lift without any rubbing. Also, I've got 17" mickey thompson classic wheels with I think a 4.5 inch backspacing. Would i be able to fit 13.50's with wheel spacers? Trying to keep cost down, 1st baby boy on the way. Thanks for any help.

A good body lift for your truck is the Zone kit, i ordered it from Rocky Mountain Offroad for $320 with free shipping

not sure of the offset. I know that 12.50s clear with no problem. Will 35's fit or will i have to trim anything?

I dont think you have to touch a thing...width is the issue, not heigth...I am in the process of searching for some 35s right now and will be able to tell you in a lil while but ive never heard of 35s rubbing with a level AND BL

I've got the 17" Mickey Classic IIs, they are a 4.25" backspace, -12mm offset wheel. I know you'll clear the 35" tire easily with a body lift/level combination. I also know that an '02-'05 torsion front Ram 4x4 would clear the 13.5" width with that wheel with no problem. The coil over '06+ trucks have a bit less clearance, might go without a spacer but with a spacer you'd have no problem whatsoever. Try it first, add the spacers if you have to...

I know that 35x12.50s fit mine with just a level. A body lift would def. give you the clearance. But like hammer said you have a lil less clearance but a body lift and level would look sweet and let them fit. Oh and congrats on the baby boy man!
