4 inch lift with 35's

[Need4Speed]

So recently I just bought a 2003 Yukon SLT 4x4 and am wanting to throw 35's under it. I've read a lot of forums about putting different keys and spacers and such to fit 33's, However I want no rubbing on these 35's.

Wondering if anyone knows if I can run a 4 inch lift with 35 inch tires and have no rubbing or extra trimming needed. If so links would be much apriciated.

best bet is with a full six inch sus system to be safe besides you will want to go higher once the 4 is on any ways

x2 on this...

4" lift is gonna give you a stuffed look, and not to mention poor suspension flex (when needed)

It also depends on the width of your rims along with the offset/backspacing... 4" is pushing it... probably will rub a lot with that much lift

You may want to go 6'' so you can flex suspension if necessary without scrubbing your wheel wells. I have an 02 LT on 35's and the front tires used to rub the inner fender wells if there was any kind of suspension movement but it only took a very minimal amount of trimming to fix it completely. So I would imagine with 4 inches it would be much more trimming and less capability.

i got 35's on just a level kit(keys and shocks) and i had to trim a tiny little piece of my valance on each side and had to put a quarter inch spacer in the back and im good to go.

how is it offroad? i could imagine even on stock rims that would rub with any flex x2 on the pics

 

[bowtiefreak]

Lots of guys run up to 36" tires with just cranked aftermarket keys and blocks or spacers. Note, stock rims or similar offset and width is a must.

It all depends on the look you are after: stuffed, proportional or towering over the tires

i still never got why people stuff huge tires on ****** narrow factory wheels with no lift.

enjoy your terrible ride, rubbing at every bump, and horrible tire wear.


why not just do it the right way? 6" suspension lift with a 9"-10" wide wheel in either 17", 18", or 20" on 35's. go with 17's if your looking to spend less.

if your not gonna do it right, might as well not do it at all.

I have a 6" Full Traction kit w/ 315/75r16's and had to do a little bit of trimming as well. I'm going with a 3" body lift to finish it off...for now lol

Not sure why it always makes pics upside down thumbs from my phone...lol

Trying it again

33s rub a bit with keys. Im still suprised that guys can fit 35s on keys without big issues. They gotta rub when you go up a steep driveway or do anything off road...although it does look good on pavement.

If you want to stay at a 4in lift (which is what I want) why not do it with 33s, thats what the lift mfgs suggest. If you want 35s, do a 6 in lift, as the mfgs suggest. Im sure you can get away with just a 4in and 35s but be prepared for some rubbing, trimming, and other suprises.

Obviously your new at this so let me enlighten you before you decide to bash people once again

First and for most anything bigger than 18s on 35s will ride like crap no matter the lift

Second don't tell others how to spend their money I or any other member here don't Call you out for lifting a 2WD .

third get your facts straight before you post and don't act like a "hot shot" and be-little other members for their Mod ideas
its different if it causes a safety issue or unless a issue will occur with the mod for-warning them

lastly FYI factory wheels will Fit Just fine and ride BETTER than aftermarkets because they were designed around the vehicle dynamics in the first place

Yes this limits how wide of a tire you can go for off road use but who cares if your just going for the look
