Default Tire Fitment for Lift?? Help!

Okay, so i have a 2003 dodge ram. Its a 2wd, sad I KNOW! It has a 3 inch suspension lift from rough country with 33" Nitto Terra grapplers. Looks WAY better then stock. Totally different and looks like a beast 4x4. Im looking to go a little bigger with 35's. So would a 3 inch body lift clear 35's? Im not big on body lifts but i need a little something to clear 35's and i already have the suspension lift. How much of a body lift would i need etc. Thanks for the help.

33" is stock size for the 20" wheels. With a 3" suspension lift, you should easily clear 35x12.5 tires. Might need wheel spacers or new wheels though to keep from rubbing on your suspension.

Whats sad about it? Ive got an 04 2wd with 12" of lift.

DirtyDog gives a great link to read and Brandon answered correctly. A 3" BL plus your current susp will do you fine. However, offset and back spacing of your rims will determine if you need spacers or not.
