    3 inch body and a 3 inch suspension lift will fit 35x12.50/15 with either aftermarket UCA's or 1/2"-1" spacers. Slide on spacers not the bolt on spacers. Probably have to get longer studs. Bolt on spacers will screw up your ball joints fyi

    Yeah... I never said that was very hard. I just did that last night to prove a point about the trails/"logging roads" have a lil to them. This trail was only a few miles out of town... Usually I'm at least 20 miles away getting into the "hairy" stuff! ;)

    You do realize, 3" of clearance for the parking garage, 1" lift from the tires leaves you 2" of clearance. Whats the big deal? Get 37"s! ;)

    I only have 12.5" of ground clearance under my diff :(
