Clearin 35s

[Madman510]

ok so i want my 98 z71 on 35s i know im gonna have to re-gear it but i dont believe in body lifts and dont want to get a 6 inch lift (price wise) so i was thinkin if i was to put a 3-4 in lift and trimmed the fenders it should clear 35s rite?? and a set of the cut out Bushwacker flares should cover the opening

It might work. I know a guy who ran 33x12.50s with no lift. He just had to trim the bumper and a little of the rocker area of the wheel well. A 4" might allow you to run a 35 in the same setup.

thank ya ill try worst thing i replace fenders rite lol i just dont need 6 inches of lift it will make pullin a trailer a bitch havein to have the huge drop ball and all and i just want to be able to play on the weekends thats all

To each its own but why not just run 33x12.5's on a 4" lift? Sticking with a 4" and trying to run 35's won't net any extra noticeable performace offroad. Clearance offroad, as I'm sure you know, is your best friend and stuffing 35's is not going to get you that. Then again, GMT 400's have a lot more room in those wheel wells.

 

I know, I know, it sounds cool to say you sit on 35's. Good luck!

i know thats the reason i what them almost every one runs 33s here so i want it to be a little bigger and their is no real off road parks that i know of just mud runs

 

i know of a truck same year and body as mine that is clearin 315/75/r16 which translate into 34s with new tortion keys and a 1in block in the rear so i think ill just do that for starts with some 33x10.50s to start
