Im runnin a 3" bl on my 2 door Yukon with the stock wheels and 265/75/16s. Doesn't look good, but its not awful. I can stand it long enough for the current tires to wear out. Shouldn't be too much longer till they're done.

Having the stock wheels on is allowing me to get some other things done while I wait. Ive got the rear bumper raised up, the frame and wheel wells painted and nerf bars modified and ready to go on. Plus Ive got new wheels waiting for new rubber. New tires will be the last thing to finish it out....for now.

Im going to run 305/70/16, which is equivalent to a 33x12.5. I think you have to crank up the front bars a lot to fit 35's

some clear some don't every truck is different, but it's the same setup I want to run. big thing is wheel width and backspace, even if it's 8 or 7 inches wide and it's hadly no backspace it can rub the body, and alot of backspace like stock and you're gonna rub the frame or control arms. I rub mine with 255/70's on stockers.

May need to crank up your torsion bars a bit if they are not already or not sagging. It helps.

I would say 35's on stockers or reg. 4.25 or so backspace 8's and 12.50's with a body lift and some crank if need be and you'll be ok, if not change your torsion bars, NOT keys bars.

KEYS DO NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

stock keys crank you to the droop stops, aftermarket or others do nothing more, if it won't go that high stock your bars are shot and NO KEY is gonna help.
