Just thought I would say that Bjlindsey is correct about no rubbing w/ the 3" body lift and 33x12.5x15 Pro-Comp X-Terrains.
I helped install a 3" Body lift on a 2000 QC 4x4 yesterday it took us from 3:00 - 8:45 we had air tools and that included the time it took us to get the tires & overheat his 5.9. FUN STUFF!
We installed most of the lift minus the Steering extension and bumpers before 4:45 then we had to get to the tire place so with out bumpers or steering extension or COOLANT!! (we had his radiator about 1/2 filled w/ water). We headed over to NTB down the street from them we over heated and coasted all the way to the parking lot. Where we refilled the radiator to what we thought was full and then mounted the tires. They swore to us that they were going to rub we told them they wouldn't they said they would.. We said fine.. put um on anyway.. They mounted them and LOOK AT THAT!! no rubbing (stupid people).. Anyway driving from there we over heated again.. Pulled into a gas station and filled up with water again. Now the engine was running right at 210 (about 1/2 heat). Anyway we got back put everything back on and took pictures (8:00 now) then we realized that we didn't put the leghtner in for the transfer case. We tried to shift anyway and it wouldn't get into 4-low. We went back to the garage and welded the leghtner in and then realized that we didn't need it. :-\ just needed to use the little adjuster already on that piece.
Anyway with air tools and someone that knows what they are doing.. It doesn't take long at all to install this lift.
Run the 33" XTerrains and you won't have to worry about rubbing. We jacked up one side of that truck ALL THE WAY I swear to god it looked like it was going to flip over.. We cranked the wheels either way and they came VERY close but didn't rub. T-Bars aren't even cranked. Truck sits level. I have pictures on a floppy disk that I was going to upload but I kind of left the disk in his truck.. Oops.

Just remember, Dodge has a 2 inch tolerance range on their suspensions. What fits and is close on one truck, might rub a tad on another. Mine still rub ever so slightly.

Thrash1 do you have differen't wheels?
Also I was saying the XTerrains are the ones that aren't having as many problems as the others.
Even though I like my Goodyear MT/R's better the XTerrains are SWEET!
