What do you think a 3-4" lift would look like with 18x9 wheels and 35x13.4 mud grapplers. I like the XD Diesels

I want to keep the drive ability but get a similar look. According to west kentucky cutoms site the mud grappler is widest in a 35 on a 18" rim unless you go up to a 38" tire

First, you either have a 4" rancho lift.





or with 38's



Or a fabtech 6" lift with 38's



As you can see, there's not much difference between Rancho's 4" kit (which is more like a 5-6" lift) and Fabtech's 6" kit.

Up from there goes 9", 12" and 14".....

If you want daily driveability I would stay away from Nitto Mud Grapplers. They are loud and wear down fast. If it was a trail only truck Nitto's would be fine. There are plenty other mud tires out there that are much better for the road. Look into Toyo's, Goodyear MTR's, etc..... Even the nitto trail grappler might be a better tire for you.

You can do a 3 inch lift with 37's as well. To do do that you will need a leveling kit and cognito upper controll arms and spring spacers for the rear.

If you are looking to offroad it I would stay away from 40s unless you like replacing axles and diffs etc....

Thanks

I was looking at the Cognito kit with the upper control arms and either spacers or new springs for the rear.

From my measurements I have 4" of clearance now so I should be fine with 3".

I've used the the Toyo MT's and had great luck with them so I'll probably use them

I like the wider tire look instead of tall and thin.

What do you guys think of the 18" 35x13.5 idea?

It looks like the widest tire I can get is a 13.5 unless I go up to 38's and I don't wont to do that

Splne 1, don't you have the chrome diesel with a 6" lift?
do you have any front or rear pics?
