Default lifting info

so im starting to save so I can do my lift. More then likely going to do either the super lift or BDS 6" kit along with a 3" body lift. I was told by a shop here that I can fit 35s with this combination with minimal trimming. Is this true or not? I really would like to go with a bigger tire the 33s.

You will more than likely need to re-gear the diffs as well.

Thats why you re-gear...keep the mileage and power the same as (or better than) stock. The only real difference after the lift and regear should be braking...but that can be upgraded too

I'm sure you know this but you didn't say anything about it. You will need to regear the front as well
