3.5" Wild Horse Lift with 35" tires. Will it work???

[Sandman0747]

I Have a '73. It is mostly stock but the rear fenders have been cut. I was wondering if anybody runs 35" tires with a 3.5" lift. The front fenders are not cut. Im assuming I will have to do this at the minimum. Also Im sure I might have to do a 1-2" body lift for a little extra clearance. Any help will be greatly apprieciated. Thanks in advance. Mike

I'm putting a 1" BL to go along with the 3.5"SL to give it a little more room. I also have the 3" backspace on the wheels so it tends to hit the fender in the front until I cut it. This pic is the 'Before' I started the frame-off and it has the 35X10.5 R15 Pitbull Rockers

Jim, do u think it would rub with out the backspace?

35's, 3.5" WH coils with Deaver leafs. Get the correct height bump stops to limit the rubbing. This one has all that and no body lift.

Thx garberz

I have to trim the lower front to clear with the smaller backspace. I had 31X10.50's w/4" backspace and they would rub the radius arms, that's why I went with the 3". It will probably clear the fender with a 3.5" or 4" backspace but I think it will rub the radius arm.

I have 3.5", 35" tires with NO bodylift. Had to trim a bit of inner fender structure, but not much. It'll rub the radius arms at full lock, but that's a wheel issue.

I LOVE maximum tires with the lowest possible center of gravity look and handling!

15" wheels? That thing looks great!

Yes, 15x10". It's not mine, but I wheel with this guy all the time. It gets used.

35's

35x12.5x17 3.5BS with 1" spacers and they just hit the radius arms so I adjusted the stops on the knuckles a tad.

3.5 TBP SL with 1" WH BL

So far so good

Hozr,

What is the width on your wheels?

 

[JRED]

I went with the 3.5 and 2 in body lift. Works fine

 

[ManTruck]

35" plus WH 3.5" lift and 1" body lift. I would prefer the 2" body lift and will change it someday.

3.5 james duff lift, 1.5 body lift on 35/12.5/15 maxxis mudders on 10" wheels... no problem. i'm going to a 8" wheel to get a little more tire height and to tuck the wheels back under the flares. still shouldn't have a clearance issue

Here's our 76 no lift with 33s see video you can do the 3.5" 35s no body lift if you are willing to do just a little extra work.

Did it. 35 x 12.5 bfg a/t on 16x8 in wheels (-6 offset) with 3.5 in wild horses lift. Minimal rubbing at full lockout. No problems. Still going to cut front fenders.

Looks great! Glad it all worked out for you!
