Menzy, a few memebers give you the right answer, your 4.5 wheels are just to much to the outside without a giant lift.
Here you go 35"s with leveling kit and a 5.5 back-space.

The next one is a 4.5" lift and would not work unless a 5.5 back-space with a 9" wide wheel.

[/IMG]How close are the tires to rubbing with the 4.5" Fabtech lift and the 5.5 backspacing, do you have any full pictures of that truck so i can see how it sits and what not as I think I may try it depending on what else i can find out, How does it ride with the fabtech coils???? I like the ride of the Lorenz coil, i think anything over stock has to be better..........

Hi Menzy, not close to rubbing because of the 4.5" lift. My friends truck has a 4.5 back-space wheels with 6" lift and 35" 13.5" wide wheels, so it is possible.
Sounds like you really like the 4.5 back-space wheel look (Tonka Truck look).
The Fabtech coils are great, I added 2.25 Dirt-Logic shocks to it.
If you running out of options send a PM to member PTGarcia, he is an expert on this issue and may have other ideas

[/IMG]Thats a good looking truck, I had my 2002 rocker panels lined like that, It worked out good as i drive lots of gravel. You are right, I LOVE the tonka truck look............ nose in the air, billet grile, and wide stance is a mean combo IMO.... So then you think I would be fine with a 4.5" lift under mostly normal driving conditions??? Do you have to do anything to the front driveshaft when you lift it that much????
Thanks again
