Question One: Not a ton. You can put in Porsche CV joints, or get custom axles made. The cheap version is to drive it smart.

Question 2: I have no idea why you are asking this question. Cutting the fenders is ENTIRELY up to you. You either do it or you don't. I have no idea why you would ask permission here. The fiberglass fender will help some, but you will likely still need to clearance the firewall some. In fact, without lift, I'm sure of it. Again, its up to you and how badly you want 35s.

As for search, don't use it. No one else does.

its a typo the title was going to be 35's on stock suspension
and i was not asking pesmersion i was really just wondering how much cuting or moding had to be done. i would really like to run 35's they just look cool. this is going to be a street truck and mud truck not a off roader like the searius guys on hear i dont have that kind of money. how much firewall moding would i have to do to tuck them.

sorry man, but there has been some horrible posting on this site as of late.
Anyways this guy did 35's on a stock suspension for his 3rd gen truck.

Just watch on the width. However, the general rule is that you can get away with 33's on a stock suspension without major issues.

I think if you want to use it as a DD and Mud, 33's are probably all you want to go. You will put way more stress on all the components of your rig if you dont upgrade accordingly. A good set of M/T's should do just fine.

See, there's this little blue bar across the top of the page, with several links that can be clicked on. Fourth from the left, is a word that opens the door to a wealth of information. Sometimes perhaps, not quite everything you were looking for, but still an amazing amount of knowledge and experience that you can glean from. So, please, before adding just one more thread to the myriads of others that will only serve to slow down this amazing feature.....


SEARCH.


Thank you.

Umm since this post has now been moved to Newbie section, you are not technically supposed to tell him to search.

Hahaha, just messin with ya though, I do agree on the new plague of blatant lack of searching that is being tolerated here.

Aw nuts. Missed that rule. They didn't have that rule when I was a newb. No wonder this new generation is so sensitive!

Anyway... You're probably right. Should I delete my posts? I tried to say it in a nice way...

Ha ha, no no. Since this thread originated in a different forum, you may be in the clear.
Besides you cant delete your posts anyways, and then you'd have to come up with 5 letters to change it.
