    Default 35's on 3inches

    I need some help, and by the way I'm new here. I have a 1996 chevy 1500 running 33inch BFG a/t's on stock suspension. I would like to know what yall think of putting 35 inch swamper TSL's on a 3inch rough country suspension lift. Is it a good idea or bad????

    i would suggest a body lift. i ran 35s on my 2001 silverado 4x4 with a 3 inch body lift and they didnt rub at all. them tires would be close with just a 3 inch suspension lift. i no they fit with a 4 inch , my buddy runnin a 4 inch rancho with 35s
    I own a 2007 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab (new body style). my truck is Red and has the 4.8, basically stock but i got big plans.

    Yeah that will be close with the 3 inch. Probably will need to trim. You don't have to worry all that much of flex, IFS don't flex!
