Defiantly not ideal but its free...for a while at least. It'll ride like a school bus and handle worse. Just a quick simple way to get up in the air.

true, but you dont need to crank them to run 35's.

well i guess it depends on the actual setup(tire/wheel width etc.)

6" body lift Pretty pointless to run 35's if you don't regear. Sounds like you won't have enough money to that. Your truck will be an absolute dog with stock gears and 35's. Save your money and do it right.

X2 I ran my 35's with stock 4.10's for 2 weeks and it was a complete dog and sucked gas like nobody's business 25-30 miles per 1/4 tank thank god it was when gas was still kind of cheap.

wait, get the super yuppy combo pack stage 5....

i ran 35's and stock gears for awhile, yea it turned my 5spd to a 3pd with an OD on the street. but on the trails where i wheel/race i pwned lil rich punks with all the goodies, most of the time!

cheapest way to have 35s......


step 1: sell your stock rig... i'm guessing you can get $6000-$7000 sight unseen,.....
step 2: buy 35s...... -$1000
step 3: enjoy your 35s, i bet they can make real good flower pots... and you have MADE $5000-$6000.
