I had a 4" lift, 35 x 12.50 master craft coursers on 15x7 wheels. Fit fine and even when bound up never rubbed. This will all depend solely on your wheel choice. That is the make or break "x factor"

Re: 4 inch lift with 35s?

I used to run 35's with a 2" lift and some trimming. I don't know if another 2" would avoid the trimming or not but fenders are dirt cheap so it is somewhat reversable. I had 35x12.50's on 8" rims. When I first got the tires I bought 7" rims but I couldn't get the tread to lay flat on the ground and didn't want to wear out the middle of the tread so I bought 8" wheels. I don't like any 12.50 tire on a 7" rim.

Re: 4 inch lift with 35s?

If you're looking for a truck that works well rather than just hard parking, a little lower ride height makes for much better handling and trimming isn't hard.

Re: 4 inch lift with 35s?

I run 35-12.50-15's BFG Mud Terrains on factory rally wheels with a 4 inch lift. No problems, no trimming.
I tried to post pict but can't for some reason. It took me a bit to get use to the look but wouldn't change now.

I really just want it for the handling plus I think I'll look way better I'm sick of my 6 inch lift with rear blocks
