Post i have 33 12.5 and wanting 35" tires, look please

right now i have a 2" BL and 2.5" front block lift and 3" rear block with OME 891 coils. right now i have 33 12.5 17 Coppers with not rub at all and they fit inside my wheel wells at full flex but barely. im wanting more aggressive tires like mud tires and looking into 35"s but im not sure if they would work or even fit. im not stranger to cutting and beating the body to fit the tires. any help would be great, thanks

You might have to trim the firewall a bit. Check out DIRTCO's build thread here. He did a really good job and took pictures. Brian2Sub also has 35's. I don't remember if he had to do anything to the rear though.

Get rid of the body lift and start cutting. Do it once, do it right.

If you don't want to do that, grab a sledge and pound away. With that 2" body lift you shouldn't have any issues with the BFH method.

Also, get ready to re-gear that pig.

I have 34's with just OME stiffies and heavies... I did trim a little around the back of the front fender and the pinch weld... did not do anything to compromise the integrity of the pinch weld but if I go to nominal 35's (probably measure to 36x11.5's) i'll have to tub the front. on the rear I trimmed the fender wells by removing the pinch weld and spot welding all the way around but my flex is crazy in the rear and i still get minor rubbing at extra full flex. DirtCo has an excellent thread even though he's new to the 3rd gen crowd(his offroad experience is extremely extensive) also check out ScottyC's addiction build and ADH8796 for his builds.

i wont cut into it that much yet, my father would not be cool with that at all as much as i would want to. i have already beat on it a lot. i looked at his thread and it helped for sure. i have the 33"s and blew the gears out not a month ago.... so now it has 4.54 gears :/ still not big enough :/ but i want mud tires and wanting to sell the ones i have on it now

Uh so what do you want us to tell you ?? You already know the 35s won't fit with out either bigger lift or cutting/beating the fenders. It sounds like you want 35s simply for looks so i say keep the 33s. You will need at least 4:88 gears to comfortabley turn 35s plus its gonna be that much harder on your transmission and steering. Also body lifts are gay.

im looking for new mud tires and they are hard to find in 33"s where i am. i know nobody likes BLs but i have one and was a good fix for the time and money. i havent been on in a long time and was checking what people might have done. next lift will be CL coils and tundra struts probably to lift more and may have to wait to get 35"s until then.
