Default 35s on an 02 ram 1500?

Im pretty sure you need about a 4 inch lift to run 35s, but would a 3 inch body lift and a leveling kit be enough to fit the 35s?

all i know is one time my suspension class teacher told me that if i wasnt sure if a wheel and tire combo would fit, was to my a cardboard cutout and hold it up next to my wheel and see how all it fits.

I just ordered a set of 35x125x17 Toyo open Country M/T's and my tire guy told me they will fit fine. might have a little rubbing on tight turns, but thats about it.

I'm cranking my front end up 2 inches to be safe though. If you plan on doing any heavy off-roading, I'd recommend a smaller lift 4-6".

That will fit comfy because I had a 2000 ram 1500 lifted with5 1/2 inchFab tech suspension and they fit nicely under that so your are good for clearance.

O, wait second thought i thought you were saying the 4 inch lift with the 3 inch body my mistake. You will need some suspension n not just the leveling kit n body lift. Think about what you are gona need b4 buying anything.

Yes I have a 2002 dodge ram 1500, and I have a 3" bodylift and a leveled and clears 35, but I just added a 6" suspension lift, so I hade to remove the leveling keys to factory, and now I have 9" of lift and can run 39.5"

When I had my 02 1500, I installed a leveling kit only and was capable of clearing 35's. A lift isn't a MUST, but it will be if you intend to avoid rubbing.
