Gun control, the theory that 110lb. women have the "right" to fistfight with 210lb. rapists.

The reason animal rights activists are more passionate about fur than leather is because it's safer to harrass rich women than bikers...

Thumbs up Re: anybody know if 35 inch tires will fit under a 6 inch lift

I think 4in of lift will get it done as long as you are not wheeling real hard. In that case 6in is better. Mostley the front corners of the front fenders will take a beating when wheeling hard with 35's and 4in. The rear will be just fine. Unless you like the big rocks, or you have a lead foot and like to jump, you will be fine with the 4in. and 35's.

6" lift should be fine. U probably will have to lengthen your drive shaft. 6" lift is on the borderline. Probably will have to extend your brake lines as well.

Re: anybody know if 35 inch tires will fit under a 6 inch lift

I would go 6". I had a 3/4 ton with 6" and running 35s, and once in awhile I would hit the fender. It was a nice truck, so didn't want any rubbing at all. I was running wide boggers, which didn't help any.
