Default Fitting 35's?

Right now my truck has a RC 3" leveling kit, im going to buy a 3" body lift soon for it, I was wondering with that combo would I rub if I put 35's on? My rim is a 16x9 -12 offset with a 1/4" spacer up front also, I planned on trimming the air dam a lil bit, but has anyone had this combo before? I don't want to rub and have a chance of screwin stuff up, but any info will help thanks!

you should be fine with a 3" bl. I'm leveled and have a 1.5" body lift and i could probably fit 35s. but I'm not near cranked up as you.. maybe only 1.5" from my torsion keys, i have a lot more room to go but don't want shitty angles.

Alright Cool! I just don't want it rubbing so bad ill rip my bumper off or something! but now I gotta figure out what tires, does anybody know anything about Treadwrights Guard Dog M/T?!?! its a retreaded tire but the stuff ive read makes em seem like there good tires, has anybody ever had em? I just want to know how long they'd last me, cuz those for a set are $600 and Brand new are like $1300....so i'd save quite a bit if I could figure out how good they are

Ive seen 37s on a 3" body and 3.5" suspension. I personally had 35s on 3.5" of suspension and 1.25" of body.

My 2 cents, 3 in suspension lift? get the adjustable torsion keys and go up another 1-1.5 in. trim the plastic corner on each end of the front bumper. Never go cheap on tires, it will cost you more in the long run, consider a 295/75/16 from BFG its about 33.5-34 in tall and wears good.Also look at Mickey Thompson, dc fun country, Toyo. I have seen the retreads come apart.

he already has aftermarket keys that he said were cranked 3 inches. almost maxed out. the keys can't go much higher than what he's at and cv angles will get worse.

btw op bfg tires are known to run a little smaller than advertised.
