Cranked t-bars + body lift

[BIGBADSILVERADO]

Lets say I took my 2000 Silverado, changed the T-Bars to a higher rated bar, added the FORD adjusters and a 3" bodylift + a 4" block in the rear....Do you think that I could fit 35's? On a 16x10 wheel with 4.5" backspacing?

 

I DO NOT OFF ROAD at all! this modificaton is purley for cosmetic appeal.

anyone on this site tried this?  PICS?

I have a 3" body lift and 295 BFGs on stock 16 X 7.5 wheels.  They clear fine.  Every on-line tire store or local retailer I have spoken to (many) say 35s on 16 X 8 wheels will not fit.  I would love to go that route but they keep saying NO.  The problem I have is I buy all my stuff online and as such can't do a fitment test.  I don't think a local retailer would appreciate me having him "try" a set only for me to then go buy them online.

 

I think you'll make it more difficult w/ the 10' wheels, however, I'm not sure how much you are willing to go w/ the torsion bars.  I do a lot of offroading and am not willing to take the beating you and the truck take when you crank the Tbars.

I have decided to go for a SUSPENSION lift instead!.....I'll either be getting the PRO-COMP 6" or the RANCHO 4-6".

 

I'll keep everyone updated. I'll be placing the order TODAY!
