is it possible to get a 36x12.50 to fit on a leveled 2nd gen with only trimming the inner fnder liner and not touching the body work of the truck. also with my custom bumper, there is no lower bumper edges to catch the tire either.

also i rarely wheel this truck...it might see mud once or twice a year, but nothing major, or alot of flex

 

I ran 36's with 4.5" of lift and they still rubbed on the fender behind the tire.
I'm not talking about flexed out, I'm talking curb cuts.
I'd say no.....

 

will a 315 rub?

 

i have 315s on for over a year and they only rub 4 wheelin once in a great while.

 

thanks...ill stick with the 315's that my buddy is gonna sell me then

35's on my leveled 02 (2" frt lift) rub anytime you go full lock on the steering wheel.... either direction!

I just don't go over 1&1/2 turns on the streering wheel and never have a problem! (1&3/4 turns is full lock).
Easy to get use to...except when you forget

The big reason most larger tires rub is because most are wide. Rams seem to really be affected by width differences. I had a friend who 'wheeled a stock height 1500 Ram with Q-78 tires (aprox. 36" tall) and they hardly ever rubbed. But they were much narrower than most oversize tires, at around 9.5" wide. That keeps them inside the fender, and away from the control arms. He had aftermarket wheels, but I don't know if the backspacing was close to stock or not.

With the stock suspension 315/75R16 on our 97 rub on the upper control arm and on the plastic fender liner on the rear. I did trim the bottom of the front bumper about 1/2" or 3/4" tapered to nothing at the top. It would have torn it off if I had not. I think the shape fits better now anyway. As said a turn and a half keeps them off the arms.

Lift it you hillbilly...

 

my 35's clear "on-road" just fine lock to lock with the 2" levelers. Even when hitting pot holes they do fine. Wheel offset has a big role in whether they'll clear or not. 36's just might a tad too big for no problem clearance. I have 16.5X12.50's on a 10" wheel with a standard offset FWIW.

Good luck

I would but I just bought shocks for both trucks. EBAY'ed some Bilstiens for less then $450. I'm thinking this would be a good time to throw the blocks in though. And I was trying to save this bonus check. I hat e you people!!!
