I've searched the sight and there isn't anything on here about what I'm considering. I'm running 33x12.5 on 15x10s with my tbars cranked 1in and a 3in body lift (miner bumper trimming to prevent little rub I had upfront). If I were to buy 2.25in tbar keys, max out cranking my tbars, and put a 2in add-a-leaf and different shackles in the back, what would be my maximum tire size? I figure this all could be done for a few hundred bucks, and I think this may allow me to run 35x12.5 tires. It may ride a little stiff, but I'm willing to sacrifice!

What do you all think?
 
I think t-bar keys are a waste of money.

So do I, but if theyd let me fit 35s cheaply then i'd pay for em. If they'd fit I'd prolly upgrade to 4.88 gears also. I just bought brand new 33s tho. So i'd wait till summer to buy 35s.
 
I'd say no, why? because you say with 33s you rub a little on the bumper so I imagine there isn't a lot of room in the wheel wells either. If you raise the rear 2" and the front 2.25" how do you expect to fit 3" more of tire. Plus the taller you go the wider they go so you'll have track bar rubbing too without using wheel spacers.
 
it would actually be a little over a 3in raise in the front. and the rear would be raised about 4in. I dont have any rubbing as of now. I shaved the bumper down pretty good. But i took my time and made it nice, rather than just slicing through it real quick. I don't need 35s, but I want them bad.

ur not actually adding 3" to the height of the tire in any given direction, from center the wheel will go in a additional 1 1/2" inch, also that is the additional lift the bigger tires will get u.

u should be able to fit them fine, but id be worried about balljoints all the time from the t-bars being cranked out
