No ones tried it so no one knows for sure. You SHOULD be able to fit 35x12.5's but.. there is only one way to tell for sure.

If it doesn't fit.. you'll have 2 go w/ 33's
Doobie.. After I get this 4.5" installed *TOMORROW!!!* I'll have a good idea as to how much more it'll take to get 35's under it.

Hey, doobie you should be able to clear 35's easy with a 6 inch lift. my friend has a 3inch body lift and fit. 32 inch swampers but with tread and all they measure out to be 34's.
And knobbyman if you dont mind could you email me a pic of your truck when you get it lifted and tell me how you like it. I'm planning on doing the same lift in like May or June. my email is Rowdy_02@hotmail.com Thanks

Doobie. What kind of lift are you getting that goes 6 inches? I have a 5 1/2 from Tuff Country and I can only run 33 x 12.50's. 35's rub in the rear and front. There is a fix which will require trimming out the front just under the bumper and trimming or removing the plastic wheel-well liner to clear the rear. If you remove it, you can still keep dirt and dust out with a TrailMaster engine skirt. It does the trick but I'd stay with the 33's unless you plan on re-gearing it to 456 so you can still have some low-end torque.
Just my 3.9 cents :-)
1998 3.9 ext cab 4x4, 5 1/2 inch lift, 33x12.50's, ram air, 180 out stat, turned down SpinTech exhaust and enough noise to wake the neighbors.

yea, I have the tuff country 5.5 inch also, and im running 33's and they clear easily...35's will rub front and back, but i think if i crank the torsion bars the 35's will be ok up front, as for the back i dont know wut to say...sorry. Someone correct me if im wrong about cranking the torsion bars :)
