Tire size for 6.5 in. Lift.?

Have 34in. Swamper ltb now and would like a radial tire. Currently have a 6.5 long arm lift and 4.56 gears.
Can I go up to a 35in tire or do I go down to a 33?

35's would be fine. I kinda think 33's look too small on 6.5"

Are your fenders trimmed?

I've only cut some behind the front tires. Would I have to finish cutting the front and cut the rear?

You should be fine with 35s. I'm running 38s on barely 6 in the front and 5.5 in the rear with just a cut and fold rear and decent bit cut in the front.

for 35's you'll probably have to do some cut and fold, and if you plan on stuffing you'll want to cut and hammer back the inner pinch seem behind the front fender
