Guys here's my plan....
I am going to end up with 6" lift with 37's....

But I am waiting for a truck load of money to come my way....Actually a settment,so in the mean time I was going to throw a cheap lift on like the 3.25 lift for about 400.00 or so. My question is will 35's fit with this kift ?
I need to order tires so I may as well get the 35's now if they will fit.
any suggestions.I am going to order the lift Friday as well as the tires and front bumber.
thanks for ant help

35's will definitely fit with a 4" lift. Tons of people run 35's on 2.5" lifts. BUT... Depending on how long you're waiting for your settlement to come through, it might be worth waiting. No sense wasting money even if you have a lot of it. (weeks, Couple months.) Just my opinion. But if you're waiting a while, go for it. You can always sell it.

Re-reading your post, you say you're gonna end up with 37's but then you ask if 35's will fit. Did you mean to say 37s? You said 35's twice.

He ultimately wants 37s and 6" of lift, but for now 35s and 3.25 lift. And yes, it will be plenty of clearance for 35s using the 3.25 lift

I didn't know if he wanted to go ahead and run 37's with the 4 inch lift until he got the 6"

You can get 37" with a Rock Krawler 3.5 x factor with minor trimming. Give 'em a call. You can go to a 5.5" later and sell the 3.5 components.

I think you are nuts for buying 35s now and 37s later! Go with the 37s now.

Post Lift

Tony, don't forget with a 3.5 lift you will need a front drive shaft, or you will be running your stock shaft w/ no grease boot after your first articulation
