    If I can get them to fit, I'm gonna do it. But before I buy tires or start cutting shit. I'm gonna borrow my friends 35's and see how they fit. Hopefully that will give me a rough idea of how much I need to do to get them to fit.

    I mean yes anything can fit. shit i could shove a big block in a taco, but is all the work really worth it? 35s are huge. your gas will run out faster than a cheap whore and your prolly gonna need gears. maybe not tho depends what your using it for

    You WILL need to cut a lot and tub the fenders and you WILL need to regear, especially with that automatic transmission.;)

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.

    Well that's never going to happen. Once you go to 35's you will need to regear so it's just time & money. if you stick with 33's you won't need to regear and it's not that much trimming to get them to fit.

    I mean I'm running 33x12.50's and there pretty dam big.

    If you have the tools and ambition to do it I say go for it. I fit 35's on my truck with 2.5" of lift. I don't have any rubbing at full stuff either. I like the bigger tires and lower center of gravity.

    You're damn right I had to trim. Lift Doesn't do shit for fitment really. It's all about the trim ;) The pics aren't recent. I had to do more, and some to the back even... Now my downfall in my rocksliders. I rub on those................

    I'm curious why you didn't move the axle forward a few inches while you were in there? You have a little more clearance at the firewall. The front is always easier to clearance than the firewall side.
