    Hi, Thanks for reading..I have a question? I have a 6' inch pro comp lift with 35' tires and 17in wheels and wanted to downsize and go small... can I go and buy the 3' lift and new tires and wheels? what is my best option and cheapest way of downsizing? Of course I will try to sell my 6inch lift to save $. You input is greatly appreciated :) what do i need do/buy to accomplish this...can i still use my 17inch wheels but get smaller tires? help

    I think you will have to cut out the pro comp cross member. A lot of work. You can still use the same rims if the back spacing it correct.

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...

    IIRC, crossmember is only cut for the 4x4s.

    OP, you can run up to 285/70/17s on a 3" lift w/ some trimming or up to 315/70/17s with trimming and the body chop mod. 3" lifts look good w/ 285s to fill it all out
