35''s?
So I have a good T-Bar crank, just put on BJ Spacers, doing Coil Spacers tomorrow and have Eibach springs. I should about 3 to 4 inches of lift, I ran 33s with about 1 and a half inches lift without too much rubbing. So the question, can I run 35s or will it rub like a sum bitch? And I just regeared to 4.88s will these do ok with 35s or would I need to regear to 5.29s?

4" lift without dropping your diff would KILL your cv joints!
Side question for you:
Do you like the bfg mud terrains? I was going to buy a set.

my buddy has an 83 chevy and he blew one of his 35's so he upgraded to 38's and i threw one of his old bald 35's on and i have a 3 inch body lift...they were 35x12.50 15R on 15x10 rims and they rubbed enough where a sawzall and hammer wouldn't really help unless you cut ALOT. maybe the 10" wide rims screwed me who knows...deff pretty big tires compared to my 31's on 15x8

Right on. Anything is possible if you cut and hammer enough. 
Just for the hell of it, I stuck my 36"s on my IFS junk just before I SAS'd it. This is with just lift shackles in the rear and bj spacers up front. Also a little pinch weld hammering, and no body lift and no torsion bar crank. I had to use my 1.5" wheel spacers because my wheels had too much backspacing, but I could've made this work if I tubbed the firewall. Or course I didn't have to worry about it fitting in the rear. I drove it to the grocery store like this once or twice, and even 35 miles to work one day.

I run a 4" Pro Comp Stage II lift with 35x12.5x15 with 15x8 rims with 3.75 back spaceing and had too trim the pinchwelds a bit but other then that no problems. I guees if you go 15x8 with 3.75bs you should eliminate the rubbing pretty much but may still have to do minor pinch weld trimming for full lock clearance. My cv's are almost completely flat and have no issues with the cv's breaking. Have had no problems with driveline angles either and no vibration issues just get a quility lift kit and its all figured into the lift. Just my .02 hope it helps
