hey everybody. i have a couple of questions. first is, who makes the best extended radius arms. and what will i have to change out when i install them.

next is what size rims will i need to run 35x13.50" tires. and would those tires even work with a 2.5" suspension lift and 3" body lift?

Thank you so much. these boards are always so helpful.

cage and james duff both make extended radius arms. As far as modifications I think all you need to do is move or install a bracket farther back on the frame for them to mount to.

the 35's should be fine with maybe some minor trimming. I run 35's easy with 3.5" susp and 2" BL.

I think 35's are gonna rub without lots of trimming or bump stops. When I put on my long arms they recommended a 2" b/l with 3 1/2" springs to clear 33's. cage made the duff arms, so cage arms would be the newer version. You will also need a longer shock set-up and ext. brake lines to get full travel.
