I don't do any towing. But I'm not planning a re gear either

So If I only have the puck lift. and I want 35's and I'm not re-gearing. Is the only thing that might get in my way the fender flares?

"Gatorduke

Are you running 3.23 or 3.73 gears? I know the Nittos are big, but 3.73 shouldnt suck to the point re-gearing should it??

She's my everyday ride so the 33's are perfect!

Just go with the 35's. I debated between the 33's and 35's and I have no complaints. Even with my stock gearing (3.21s I believe) she isn't THAT bad. The only time I really noticed it was when I was towing a small trailer through the PA mountains. You can fit the 35's with no problem in there. I have seen people stuff 37's on the lift you are talking about.
