Default 35s on a 4.5 lift

I just got my new 35s today and they look great no rubbing yet but I might have to trim the back of the front fender because of how close it is for offloading. It still moves pretty well on stock gears and mpg is decent. Here's before and after pics.

I love it. I can't wait for my 33s to wear out. 35s are next. I am also at 4.5in and have plenty of room. That looks perfect.

He is trimmed. I think he meant to say he needs to trim more behind the front tire.

on a Dana 35 yes, D30/8.25 no. This has been discussed numerous times, 35s are perfectly fine on D30/8.25.

Anyway to the OP I like it except the bumper... this is all i see when i look at it.

I'm running 35s on a D30 locked with 4.88s and wheel the crap out of mine. Its all about wheeling smart and not trying to lead foot it over everything.

Just carry spare shafts, and dont run cromos or you'll just be replacing ring gears. its easier to replace shafts. infact takes no time at all.

What tires are those? I plan on getting a 4.5" lift but looking at running 32"s with the original flares for now
