yes and no. they will fit but you will have some major rub. To run the 35's you want at least 8inchs of lift if you plan on wheeling)other then mud). But you can get away with the 3icnh body and 3.5 coilover*which i do not recommend cranking them that high. If you do want too then do a diff prop at least. Going the full 3.5 give extra stress to the lift and the truck and the ride will suck. i would go with 33's and the body lift with about 2.5 on the coilovers( still do a diff drop). Go with 10 inch wheels also if you go 33 12.5. I think they look much better.(but if you don't want your tires to stick out and fling roocks on the truck go with 8's.

so two questions... what kind of lift would it take to clear 35 and when i say clear i do not want the truck to high to make the tires look small i am talk about a good looking lift and then on the same note what would it take to clear 33...... now the rims that i run i think are 8" but not sure have to check but the backspacing is to where the tire sticks out a little and i am running 10.5" wide tires. i had 11.5" tires before this set and they stuck out about two set of groves in the tread...... i will check the size and get that back to you.... thanks for your help

first off i don't think they make 35 10.5's they might but i can't think of any./ they do make 33 10.5's. For the 33's on 8's with 12.5 you need a good 5-6inchs. for the 33's on 8's 10.5 you need 4inchs. for the 35's on 12.5 you need 7-9inchs. if you want to run 35's the best choice is the 6inch fabtech lift with a 1-2inch body lift. it will not rub and look really good. I do not think you can run a coilspacer with this lift so you are stuck with a body. to clear 35's you will need a drop diff lift.(procomp,fanbtech,trailmaster) unless you want to trim.

I had a bunch of discussions about lifting my '98 PreRunner on another board, and what they were suggesting was:
To clear 33's, have a 3" suspension lift and 3" body lift.
To clear 35's, have a 6" suspension lift and 3" body lift.
But for the 35's, I was told I definitely needed to regear, and I would probably suggest the same to you.

ok got some more info do not know if it will help...... i am running 15x10 rims and it look like it is a 3 3/4" back space, so dose that change anything for my chance of clearing any bigger tires..... the new lift i found was a revtek 3" lift witch is also with a diff drop with 3" body lift......... so will that clear 35x12.5 or do i still have to stick with 33x12.5 ............ i also found a 456 gear if i go to a 35' tire, is that the gear i need....... thanks for your help

the 15x10s hurt your clearence with the tires. The 10inch width will make your tires stick out two extra inchs. this will mean more rub. like i said before you can do this with 6inchs if you don't mind rubbing. Or you can go fiberglass fenders and help clear them.(but you will still rub on the frame). The 33's will work perfect with your 6inchs. ALso if you go to 35's i would get 4.88 gears and if you go to 33's 4.56 will get you back to stock(but it is not needed)
