    The title is the question. Just want to know if anyone is running that combo on thier truck. Want to see what it looks like before I make a decision to get 35's. Thanks.

    That looks awesome. I want to keep the BRAND NEW TIRES I bought until they wear down. But if 32's look like crap on my truck with the 6'' lift then I may change them. What lift do you have? I like it.

    In the long run if you don't want to have to trim a lot of plastic and flatten your pinch weld and chop your cab mount go with the 33's. Without doing all of that 35's will be a pain in the ass and rub a lot, if you do any off-roading at all you will hate it. Even if you do all of the trimming, with 35's and a 6" lift you will have to crank down/ pre load your coil overs a lot for good tire clearance and when you do that the ride gets really really stiff if you have the PC or Fabtech CO's. Overall for maximum driveability on and off road I would tell you to keep your 6" lift at 5" with very little pre load on the CO and run 33's. I run 35x12.5's but I had to customize the front end so that I ended up at a 7 1/4" lift in the front to truly no BS clear those tires lock to lock on and off road.

    Love the info. I am going for the 6" PC w/ CO's. In that case I will probably just wear down my 32's and then get the 33's later if I can't get a good price for them. I just bought them. I do go offroad here and there but I limit myself to easy stuff becuase of the current set-up on my truck.

    ^ see 33's still look great... 35's are overkill on a mid size truck like ours...and that's coming from a guy running 35's :) oh and the 33's are way cheaper too :)

    Im at 5" front and 4" rear and run 33's and love the look. Nothing wrong with running 33's on a 6" lift.

    If you have not done the 6" DB kit yet seriously reconsider doing a solid 4" mid travel kit with 33's. You will actually have the same ground clearance in the front and a better ride. The 6" kits come with horrible un serviceable and poorly valved CO's and blocks for the rear, for same amount of money you can piece together an awesome 4" kit that will ride so much better and perform better off-road. If I could do it over again I would have never done a 6" DB kit, I would get 4" spindles, UCA's and a quality CO for the front and you will still be able to afford a nice leaf pack for the rear with quality shocks.

    I have spent years and stupid sums of money trying to get my 6" DB kit to perform well and truly clear the tires ...oh and if you try to make a 6" kit ride like a 4" kit everything you try to do will be custom and more expensive including your shocks...it's a bottomless money hole. Don't get me wrong I love the look of 6" " street trucks " but just be realistic about what you want to do with it and if you want to do any real off-roading you will hate to 6" kit.

    My 2015 Taco will go straight from the dealer to a shop for a long travel kit with only 4" of lift and a narrow 33" tire size... And I will have spent less money than I have on my current truck :/ again, 6" kits look sweet I am not raggin' on anyone with a 6" kit I have one... I just wish someone would have told me all this shit in 2005 :)

    I have considered that lift. And believe me, I'm teedering on the fence about it. I have gotten some similar suggestions before. I actually just bought the Expo Leafs from All-Pro. They give me 3" of lift just with the leafs alone. I was going to buy blocks for them but that may be an excelent way to start the 4" lift. I like over-land type off-roading and a little technical stuff. I want to just increase my capabilities.
