Considering trimming fenders instead of lift for my next project...

Oh der sorry forgot this was for the future new truck ha my bad.

Yea 3.73s is a bit tall. 4.10s with 31s would be much nicer.

Anyways.

4.88s with 35s should be nice with the r150

 

I may be interested doing 35s at some point, and trying to figure out how much body lift is needed so you don't have to tub.

Relentless taco below has 3" body lift with 3" suspension lift and I believe has full articulation/steering with the stock firewall (not even the pinch weld mod) on 35s without any rubbing(frame or firewall). I can't find the build thread, there are some pics below.

I am thinking maybe doing bushwacker fenders or an aggressive pinch weld mod and with a 1 1/2" or 2" body lift; 1" inch seems like not enough. With 2" to 3" suspension lift (but the suspension lift won't help tire clearance if trying to retain full articulation)

I'm aware I would need fab bumpers & sliders to make the body lift not look like crap, and there are some concerns of bodylifts stresses those connection points more but they seem like acceptible tradeoffs to get clearance without tubing.

Thoughts?
