im not a fan of body lifts myself because every thing is a few inches out like bumpers and things, and then you get body roll and it handles funny after. thats just my opinion,

Sell the 35's and buy new 33's.

Plus with 35's have to recalubrate speed-o, you'll have more sidewall flex, lose acceleration, wear brake pads a little quicker, and you'll have to mount and balance them. Which will cost $$'s, when you already have tires on your truck. Sell them and put a couple $$'s in your pocket!!

 

[Gen1Pat]

If he hasn't had the speedo recalibrated already. If so, then it wouldn't be off by TOO much with the 35's.

Just make sure they are BFG's!!! Michelin's will be OK too. Since they pay my bills and puts food on my family's table!! :tup:

I think it's only about 4 MPH at 55-60. The diff. between 33 and 35.

buy 2-3 inch lift blocks for the leaf springs

I was gonna say.. You could probably get a cheap 3" lift for it, and it would be easier to install than the body lift.. Depending on the year?

Like these kits would be alright if your just looking for tire clearance.

Suspension lift is the way to go l defiantly

 

[WARRIOR OF DEATH]

the lift kit would be cool, just throw some good mud tires on it, widen out the a arms and rear axle so your not tip happy, and maaaaaybeee lower your gearing, but it would be cool, and maybe a longer swingarm just because

i would go for the body lift, especially if you have the ford TTB front end, the lifts can be expensive and flex worse then stock. i have a ford ranger with a 3" body lift runing 33's, and there is no bad affect, in fact it makes maintance easier for me, most guys have to pull their inner fender liners out to change spark plugs, mine are clear, when i swapped transmissions, i didnt have to deal with removing the rusty exhaust bolts, i was able to lift the trans the extra height to clear the exhaust cuz of the body lift.

btw when we go wheeling , i go everywhere and flex better then my friends with their suspension lifts, and winch bumpers and all.
