    I find that really hard to believe still considering I just clear my pinch weld with 2.25 RR with .5 Rusty off raod strut spacer and im running 32's. I have been reading about this lift and from what I have been reading it doesnt actually give the whole 3.5 inches.

    What are you having a hard time believing? that you could fit 35" with the 3.5" lift? Let me just say anything over 2" that don't drop the front diff is asking for trouble. Also if you went with the 4" SL you still would have to do a lot of work to stuff 35" in there like removing the fenders and cutting and grinding down the pinch weld and you still might get some rubbing I would think. I forget the dudes name but he's running 35"s on the 2" lift I think he said but that dude chopped into his frame to make his tires fit.

    Id be the one to find a way to run 35's with the 4 inch lift if I could afford the lift. Hoping to get it for graduation.
