First post here. Sorry if this has been discussed, I just don't have the time to read 50 pages of posts...
I currently have a stock 1997 K1500 Z71. I believe the torsion bars are slightly cranked, not positive though since I just got the truck about 6 months ago. I'm running 33x12.50x15 and have 0 rubbing issues. I'm planning to install a 3" body lift very soon. With the 3 BL, would I be able to clear 35x12.50x15, or would I have to stick with 33's?

Tristan, Shadowrejects ran 35's no lift just a 2in block and crank

This may have been covered and I just missed it, but what's a good amount of wheel backspacing for 35s (either with 15X8 or 16X8 wheels) with a 6" RCX lift? Right now I'm running 33s with minimal crank and no rubbing. I'd like to continue the no rubbing trend, however, I'd like a wider stance that'll look good with the lift. The look of StedsonZ71's truck is what I'd like to do ideally, but I haven't heard back after PMing him the other day.

If you ran a 33X12.5 on a 8" and 10" wheel would there be a dramatic height difference? I'm talking greater than a 1/4" overall height?
