New Lift, New Tires. What Size?

Hey guys, throwing a 6 inch fabtech lift into my 3.4 4x4 2001 Manual Taco. She already has a 2 inch body (could possibly upgrade to 3) and a levelling kit along with 1.25 inch wheel spacers. Was looking at 35's but was thinking maybe 37's? Not sure to sure how badly 37's would rub with that amount of lift in there, would it be worth it? Wishing I had the opportunity to test em out before I bought em

Also wanted to get your guys opinion on gear ratios for the 35s (37's will be 5.29's for sure) should I go 4.88 or 4.56? Found a brand new set of 4.56s for half price. This is my daily driver and I'm about 60% pavement 40% dirt.

Appreciate any help!

35's, but that's just with the fabtech lift.

First- don't get a 3" body lift.

Now with that out of the way, my guess is even with 35's you'll be able to make them rub at full lock. You'll have to decide what your definition of "clear" is, but you can probably do 37's if you are judicious in cutting your wheel wells and/or adding bump stops.

Do you really want 37's on a 60% road daily driver?
